'Simply Gorgeous' rose Reviews & Comments

Color and fragrance are quite pleasing. Unlike most in this color range, I have not seen any downy mildew.My plant is still young, but I was happy with a rose that seems to grow better than 'Koko Loco', in a far more pleasing color than 'Honey Dijon'. Looks like it will be an amazing HT within 2 years.Edit 1. Quite a nice rose, and quite low on disease compared to most mauves. Color is never the same. Sometimes is straight silvery lavender. Sometimes peachy fawn. And sometimes various admixtures. Form is quite round, and its now forming candelabras indicative of a grandiflora-style plant. This makes me think it descends from 'Cologne'. It seems to form candelabras like Lagerfeld does, but clearly not on a skyscraper plant with small blooms. The bloom size is always substantial.
