I just found out today that my order from edmunds was not going to reach me because of an address error. So now they must re-ship. Well 3 of the roses i was supposed to get (paradise found,twilight zone and electron are now UNavailable. My question is does anyone out there have any of these and are they worth trying to find somewhere else. I am a fragrance maniac and choose my roses solely on the hopes that they will have strong ,unique scents. I replaced them with royal amethyst,cinnamon dolce and full sail. if you have any of these 3 feed back is also welcome. THANKS !

Ooohhh!!! I have Paradise Found and I adore it!!!! Lots of flowers, lovely coloring - and I love the scent. I've never smelled the like before. I always go over to sniff it. Just lovely. I think you should try to get this rose. As to disease - roses here don't get diseases unless it's a dog of a rose. No disease here on Paradise Found.

I have both. Paradise Found is a Gotta-Have-It, in my opinion. Very unique blooms, an amazing number of petals, and it's just a good all around rose.

Electron is pretty, but her scent isn't all that strong to me and it's my slowest out of 49 to rebloom. But wow, when she does bloom--big fatties with a an eye-scorching pink. I notice that I also get very short & stubby stems if I try to cut blooms for indoors.

I've grown Royal Amethyst for a bunch of years. It takes 2 yrs to get a big bush but to me it is THE best purple HT on the market. And if fragrance is you're thing, you will be VERY happy with it. RA carries the best of both parents.

I've grown Royal Amethyst in the past. It was a great rose for me. I LOVE the lovely scented and the pretty colored HTs for vases and giving them to people to enjoy. They really brighten folks day! I think you will love it!!! :-)

You might try Lowes, I bought a Electron last week at a Lowes in Granbury, Texas. Good luck

Electron is a pretty hot pink rose but no great shakes in the bloom department. It's a very slow grower and very slow to repeat so maybe Royal Amethyst will be even better.

I don't know if humidity is a problem for you but my Full Sail tended to ball in high humidities here.
