Well I was wrong/right the form cleaned up nicely on the next flush. the plant is already 4 ft and this is its first year potted from the nursery. The scent is lovely and spicy but doesn't carry far just yet.

the only stage of bloom thats unattractive is during petal fall everything else is just magnificent. This is one of the most appropriately named roses for its form and enormous blooms. The bush is so neatly upright and the canes are strong. It's as stunning as ever even I this heat.
