Sweet intoxication was purchased from J&P as a fall container rose. So this would be its first season. Although the bush is very young, it is a heavy bloomer. It is already full with buds and has a few blooms on it. The smell mimemicks the name, it is a very sweet smelling rose. It is resistant to mildew and gets some blackspotting but very little. Winter hardy for zone 6 PA with mulch protection. I will give you a update on her growth habit over this growing season.

Grows similar to Oh My! Not exactly but mostly. Big n' chunky -- between mounding and upright.

The advanced search option doesn't really work. I am searching for any purple rose with a strong citrus fragrance. The first rose that came up on the 39 page list had a strong clover fragrance. I have been having this problem a lot. Any suggestions?

The ADVANCED SEARCH on HMF does not select fragrance for a rose by the fragrance notes that are often used in the descriptions, but only in the strength of the fragrance give by the breeder at the time of registration, or when they patent the rose.
To narrow your search, since you are a premium-member of HMF, you can add a few other plant characteristics. For example, you might want to add "class" to your search criteria. You could also add "introduced after, let's say, 1950 and that would narrow the search by setting a time period.
It takes a bit of practice to learn how to narrow a search, but once you get into it, I find it's kind of fun.
Smiles,

nbate,
Just a progress report. We've been able to replicate the issue you reported. It's always very helpful when someone provides a precise example. On the surface it appears the fragrance type (ie citrus) is being ignored. The Advanced Search is quite complex software so it may take a little time to sort out the problem, hopefully not. We'll let you know when we have it corrected.

SB is very hard to find these days. The last business I ordered it from sent 'Deep Purple'. I considered getting SB from Roses Unlimited, but without a photo to show its the real one, I wasn't willing to shell out the bucks. Sadly, its just become one of those roses mislabeled with others.

i purchased purple tiger as an own root last fall, so i didnt really see it perform til this season, i was afraid i had made a mistake in purchasing this rose because of the other post. So far i have not been disappointed by this rose. It has bloomed for me every 6-7weeks. It is still very small, so it only has approx 4-6 blooms on it. I have not had any problems with black spotting and it is to small to cut for the vase.. But it is winter hardy for zone 6,pa, i donot mulch in winter because all my plant beds are rock to keep out unwanted moles, and purple tiger did just fine. So for me this rose does work in my garden.

It works well for me here in NJ/7a as well. Pretty much everything in my garden gets black spot in late summer, but this rose didn’t seem too bothered by it. It had a very lnon-prime spot (a little more shade from the willow tree than I’d expected) in wet, heavy clay. The flowers were gorgeous, the stems are plenty strong, and this little rose has been quite a performer for me.

i have been growing R&R for 2 seasons, this is a rose that is slow to start, it has remained small over the summer months, but has started to fill out, FINALLY!!! It is such an amazingly beautiful rose, (Iam a lover of the stripes) I noticed a medium rose scent, its the first time it started scenting,very good with disease resistance. The summer doesnot slow its blooming, the winter was not as harsh as normal last year (zone 6)but it did fine, i had no dieback, it will update on the survival of this winter. In short an excellent addition to any garden, a real show stopper.

Someone in HMF mentioned that Rock & Roll is better than Neil Diamond, and I agree, after having Neil Diamond as 2nd-year-own-root. My neighbor's GRAFTED Rock & Roll is 100% healthy, never see blackspots on that one for years, despite planted next to a tree !! My OWN-ROOT Neil Diamond is prone to blackspot .. I had to move it to full-sun & dry & alkaline clay, before blackspot is reduced. Rock & Roll is consistently fragrant, versus unstable scent on my Neil Diamond (sometimes strong, other times gone).

Great information to know. I'm in a blackspot prone area at the Gulf Coast, and have been wanting a red and white stripe. Much obliged for the report.
