It's hard to find words to describe the heady delicious perfume that effuses from this captivating well-formed coral-orange, sometimes clove, often spicy, definitely sweet and mostly rose.  Lots of large shapely blooms are produced on a vigorous bushy plant with dark glossy green foliage.

French Perfume

A tantalizing, fruity aroma is only part of its allure.  Clusters of creamy ruffled blossoms unfold with light, bright yellow centers that soften to white as the petal edges take on a ruby blush.  Beautiful with pink, red or lavender blooms, and its captivating scent makes it a great choice for fresh cut arrangements.

Full Sail

Great glossy foliage, beautiful flower form and a wonderfully scented white rose.  Its got that heady honeysuckle perfume that'll make you swoon with just one sniff.

Gentle Giant  

Big monstrous buds and blossoms of rich pink have an inner glow of golden yellow.  Super broad round petals lend a classical flower form, slowly spiraling open from pin-point centers to full plentiful pulchritude.  Long stems are perfect for bouquets, but it won't take many of these beauties to fill a vase.

Granada

An exquisite combination of peach, gold, pink and red wrapped with an exotic fragrance. Dark green foliage.  Often blooms in clusters.

In the Mood
