This was an ok-ish yellow rose. Never really did much in my garden though - did not climb, barely bloomed, did not stand out. I kind of put it in a group of generic yellow roses like Sun Flare - nice to have but nothing that will have people talking). Maybe if it had been planted in a new location it would have stood out moor, but I highly doubt it.

After growing it for about 5 years it finally succumbed to winter - still barely a foot tall and with a single pencil thick (if I am being generous) cane. will not grow again unless I hear someone else has a good experience with it.

Also, while I smell licorice, the website where I purchased my plant describes the scent as very, very strong with a mixture of Damascus, tea and fruit. And unsurprisingly, it was launched jointly with a Japanese fragrance brand

Just received this variety with a few blooms on it. The open bloom was large - somewhere between 5 and 6 inches. Many petals with a rich earthy licorice scent. Form was cupped to semi-globular. I really enjoyed the scent on this bloom and cannot wait for this one to put on more growth so I can enjoy it more.
