Sylvia Weiser WendelUpdated I bought 3 Tamoras last year and they are all thriving. I find the scent very attractive, but hard to describe in words. If you have Carding Mill, that has a similar scent.

rhiana21Updated I agree with Windeaux. The best roses and rose gardens I have ever seen was on a trip to New Zealand. They are very proud of their rose gardens, and rightfully so.

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated I also had rabbit damage last winter, I had to cut off roses below the damage, that's another reason roses are short this season, not all due to the weather.
