| I think my Shreveport looks mighty fine this last day of spring, so thought I would share. This rose bush has been in my yard over a quarter century.

Yeah, that's gorgeous. Any scent? Does it get a lot of blooms? How big is the bloom?

| Hi Carol, My Shreveport is same as one described in Roses, How to Select, Grow and Enjoy by Richard Ray and Michael MacCaskey. Grandiflora with 3 to 4 inch blossoms suffused with orange, salmon, cream and yellow tones borne in clusters. There are a lot of blossoms. The book states fragrance is mild tea scent, but mine does not seem to have any scent--however, my nose might not be as good as the author's schnozs. This is a tall bushy upright plant with ARS Rating of 7.6. I like Shreveport a lot. Hope this helps, Jim |
