| English Perfume is my recent acquisition. This is the 1st bloom. Exquisite. It is an old Jackson & Perkins rose. Why is this rose not widely available in commerce? |

| English Perfume in my climate had too much botrytis petal blight. It is very pretty and fragrant, though. |

| What conditions cause botrytis? I did not find too much information on English Perfume other than Help Me Find. |

| Botrytis germinates in cool weather after a rain. You won't see it much in hot-summer areas. 'Eden' is also highly susceptible. |

| Botrytis is a very opportunistic fungal disease. It can manifest overnight and then disappear. Best cultural practice is to quickly cut and throw away infected buds and flowers. Nik |
