| I have Tranquility and Wollerton Hall. Love the blooms on both. My WH gets looooong canes so either gotta keep them cut short and hope they bloom or throw a pillar over them next yr to help prop them up. Seems like my Tranquility has arching canes. It's staying shorter and more manageable. They both have been clean all summer but I do spray but not regularly. I can't remember if they have fragrance. I'm old and my memory rarely remains. Lol. If I find some pics I will post them later. Judy |

| I have Heathcliff. So far this year it has had just two flowers. It has basically sulked. That may not be a total surprise. The flowers are a light to medium red in color and open quite quickly. Perhaps with time it will improve. It may not care for our heat. I will have to see if it does anything now in the fall when it cools off. |

| My Heathcliff did nothing all summer and I was convinced that it was a dud. Then the cool nights came along and it has exploded with many big, luscious, well formed, long lasting blooms. Now that it's blooming it tolerates high daytime temps well. It's a neat, compact, healthy plant so far, not especially bushy, good clean foliage. The color is much pinker than I hoped, though it's a rich color and complements Boscobel quite nicely. I should note that reds in my garden tend toward pink and I've also experienced that many of my red/crimson roses are decidedly pink in their first year and darker up as they mature. This has been particularly true of the DA reds. |
