Bliss Parfuma, why is it, "Parfuma," if it's only lightly fragrant?

My rating of best Fragrant Roses..
Comments (82)Low nitrogen & Low phosphorus and high potassium & calcium was what helped with my Betty White. Both high nitrogen and high phosphorus attract thrips. High potassium & calcium (2 part potassium to 1 part calcium) helped with Betty White. It's short since I use low-nitrogen. My garden is no-spray and I use organic fertilizers: horse manure, alfalfa meal and just a tiny bit of chicken manure NPK 2-4-3 (Coop Poop), plus red-lava-rock for high potassium & calcium.

Comments (10)I think Lowe's has a 1 year guarantee. Maybe that would work on these roses. I was in our local Lowe's the other day, was looking at the roses. Just pathetic! Most were wilted, dried up, crying out for water. A guy who looked like a manager pranced up to me, all smiley faced and asked if I was finding everything all right - I said yes, but would you please get someone to water your poor roses? I am a rose person and it really bothers me to see those poor plants dying from lack of water. His happy face burst like a balloon and he gave me a blank stare. He pointed at a lady employee and said oh, that is her department. She apologized and said she has been really busy. I thought - doing what? Watching the roses die? Most of the ones on display were in death throes from lack of water. I strolled through the garden area later and she was watering - not the roses but ferns, etc. that looked just fine. Then they put the half dead plants on 50% or more off.....when they could have just cared for them and sold them at full price. Go figure! I haven't noticed roots like what you all described but will check. They are bad about mislabeling plants. I bought on another trip there a rose that had probably just arrived, looked great, beautiful buds. It is labeled Carefree Beauty but it most certainly is not. It looks like a pale pink double Knockout. Have seen the candy pink, pink blush, more like a single, but not one like this. And....the other day it produced a bloom that is half red/half blush pink. I have heard of KO's that occasionally do this. So who knows what it is? Its pretty - healthy and is going in my pink bed - and I WILL check the roots!

Comments (11)zz, I just planted a Savannah on Multiflora and it looks great. I had one two years ago which was own root, and I liked it pretty good, but last spring it died before it ever bloomed. My new Savannah is on multiflora as is Zaide, anxious for Savannah to bloom, I’m impressed with what it’s done so far. For the most part I’ve been especially pleased with my Kordes roses on multiflora, well except for Summer Romance, but I hope that was just a fluke, I’m going to try it again! The one Kordes I have own root now that I really love is Dark Desire, I’ve got two of them, third season, they’re ready to bloom, can’t wait! I have Plum Perfect, Crazy Love, two Beverly, and two Poseidon all on multiflora. Along with Savannah I just planted Solero and Bliss Parfuma, which are on multiflora. There’s so many others I would love to have! My Quicksilver is on Dr. Huey. I forgot, Out of Rosenheim is own root, second season. Which Kordes are your favorite?...See MoreCan you recommend me some strongly fragrant roses
Comments (73)Im wondering how I have missed Velvet Fragrance? What a beautiful red and fragrant to boot Two of my favorite for fragrance are Double Delight and Memorial Day. Tess, my mother in lae and my dad were both in care factories and I know the joy that they would have received by sharing the fragrance and beauty of real roses or any flowers actually What a great ministry and blessing for those who love fresh flowers but have gardens no more Well done !!...See MoreSoFL Rose z10
