RoseBeverly ® most recent 23 JUN 23 SHOW ALL

Initial post 23 JUL 18 by Alexday

A few years in and so far, this rose has not been so good, but that might be because I bought it own-root. Clearly, people here have beautiful bushes but mine has short stems, and buds with few petals. The scent is very herbal/citrusy, it reminds me of Heirloom. Overall I prefer, it's parent the McCartney rose for a sweeter scent and richer color. I need to try this rose grafted, to be able to judge it better as most of my roses are grafted on Dr. Huey.

I bought this rose grafted onto multiflora from Palatine roses. It's vigorous and disease resistant in Atlanta Georgia USA. It's an excellent rose. It has the strongest scent in my garden. The only thing I don't love about this rose is that the petal count isn't very high.

Mine is no-spray and I get very little disease in my hot and humid climate.

I'm not sure what others are complaining about with balling. The petals are thick and it doesn't have many petals. However, my garden is HOT most of the year.

I saw one of these at Lowes, and fell in love with it. I couldn't detect a scent, but roses are always full of surprises. Color and form is beautiful. I was sure i was going to get it until I saw what looked like Mosaic virus patterns on it. I'm not sure.. but these days there are a lot of roses that aren't infected so I'm a little more picky.	REPLY
