| Thanks to Olga, who enabled me into this rose. I can't stop taking pictures of it (which don't do it justice). Shown here in it's 2nd year with irises and false indigo.

| Wow, Eric, your camera is going to get a workout when all those buds open! It very much reminds me of my Maggie - except for the climbing part. Can't wait to see the next batch of pics. So pretty! Great iris, too. Sherry |

| Very nice especially for such a young plant! I love your iris too. Remy |
|
| Eric..you have a knockout there!! I really have to work on training mine. Mari |

| Beautiful rose and Iris! But I never can tell the difference between this rose and Mme Issac Pereire. |

| Thanks everybody, I've posted some more pics.

| A glorious rose and beautiful shots. |
|
| Fantastic combination. I think chain link fences are ugly but the roses and irises do a nice job improving the overall appearance. You've made smart choices and matched the colors perfectly. Good job, Patrick |

| Thanks Patrick. I'm kinda stuck with the chain link...silver lining?...built in trellis. Hopefully it will be covered in due time. I might train some clematis over it too. Eric |

| Has anyone seen this rose available and in stock now? Where? |
|
| I bought mine from Rogue Valley Roses and I see they still have it available in bands. The fragrance is really wonderful and in my warm, dry garden it's been totally disease-free. The blooms tend to burn in the sun but many mauve/purple roses to that. You might also check Roses Unlimited for availability. I'm trying to grow mine as a large shrub and we'll see how that works out. It's a beautiful rose. Ingrid |
|
| I had it & then gave it to my chiropractor as a gift a wonderful rose for the Bourbon lovers> |
