In my experience (zone 9B so. CA) Wild Edric is quite a good cut flower in the house, lasting about four days and perfuming its vicinity. In fact the fragrance was so strong that I couldn't have it within four feet of me, and I don't have allergies. It's a crying shame that this rose is no longer offered in the US and from what I hear difficult to find in Europe. It's an excellent rose with no disease and very good rebloom for me.
