I bought two of these rose bushes from a local nursery early spring 2021. They were about 2 feet tall each when purchased. They have thrived in their first year, one of them grew to 7 feet tall the first year. They produce large, bountiful yellow flowers that smell unbelievably good. I want to learn how to make perfume from them. Sometimes this rose blooms in clusters with three or four buds on the end of one large cane. It has me hooked on growing roses!

*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***


Purchased from Regan Feb 2013. First flush of flowers April 2013. Beautiful and every bit as powerfully scented as Fragrant Cloud. A small vase of the two of them on my desk is a bit much!

5/24/2014 - Planted in new garden.
4/48/2021- Still out there but doesn't bloom much. This one probably wants more care than I'm willing to give, but just surviving is to be commended.
12/9/2024- Squashed by a tree that fell during Hurricane Beryl.
