After spending a long time researching on Fragrant Plum, I found 3 people reported that it's stingy as own-root. If you know the type of rootstock it's best grafted on, please inform.

Bought this one on a whim and have never regretted it! Seems to be always in bloom, no need to comment on the fragrance (!), form can be amazingly formal, and in the fall it becomes "fireworks" in 6a, sending up huge, thick basals that can reach 6+ feet tall and explode in blooms, each bloom coming on a 12 inch long stem, really something else. It is BIG but if you like fragrance and/or the color and have the space, in my opinion a "must have."

Just love the fragrance of this rose. So rich and strong! Great form and colour, as well.

I really like the blooms I get on Fragrant Plum, but the problem is that my bush doesn't bloom enough to satisfy me. It's blooms are nicely colored, formed, and wonderfully fragrant on long stems. The bush is very healthy, moderately vigorous, and winter hardy enough in my zone 6a garden in NW Missouri. However in its' first two years I will lay odds that I haven't seen more than a total of 10 blooms. Hopefully this third year its' vigor and floriferousness will improve, othewise I will have to shovel prune this one and replace it with something that will bloom more.
