'Double Delight, Cl.' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
I bought a "Double Delight" rose from Lowe's a couple of months ago and the bush was in bloom. The flowers looked exactly like Double Delight which I used to own but I was a bit perplexed that this one was not fragrant at all. I still bought the bush because it was a bargain and I thought maybe it will send out fragrant blooms when it gets bigger. Two months later, the "bush" is blooming like crazy and twice as big but behaving like a climber/groundcover which long lax branches. It's more vigorous and more prolific than my old Double Delight plant. I was going to return it to the store but I'm actually getting to like it even though it is scentless. I was researching here to figure out its true identity and to my surprise I found this entry for a Cl. Double Delight. To those own this plant - can you tell me if yours has any fragrance?

Could it be Cherry Parfait?

Cherry Parfait was actually my first hunch. I just wanted to rule out Cl. DD because that would have been a more understandable mistake for Lowe's to make. But the scent factor (lack thereof) most likely confirms that what I have is Cherry Parfait. Someone commented on Cherry Parfait that her bush is growing "squat" rather than tall. Maybe my plant and hers came from the same mommy! Thank you for your help!

If you review the REFERENCES on the rose page, some say it is extremely fragrant.
