Bought this rose about two and half months ago, a young grafted plant just budding.
It's been a slow starter, and rather shy of flower until now, it just produced two flowers.
They're a medium yellow, loosely double and nice looking.
The scent was given as "strong" and it was the main reason I bought it, but in the first flower, it was just medium at best, and similar to tea... nothing special. After several weeks and after having produced some good foliage, the second flower started similar, then got slightly stronger in smell... Then the wind strongly shook the plant right while I was there, and it broke the branch, so I was forced to put it in a vase... where the scent soon developed, getting much stronger and much more interesting. It developed a moderate myrrh note, a rather intense citrusy note, and a quite faint but yet noticeable old rose base, which definitely made it much much better.
After three days, it's still there and can't stop smelling it. A surprisingly delicious scent. I wonder if it's frequent that newly planted rose can give a few almost scentless flowers, and then after a while, new flowers start giving off much different and stronger fragrance. Or rather, I wonder if some roses are known for smelling much stronger and much better as cut flowers. Very curious to see the next flowers it will give.
