Smitten by the colour of this one. I know a few RTA people grow it, exhibit it. Can you advise on 1) repeat? and 2) bs susceptibility? I'd like to bring this one front-of-house, not for cutting but for glamorous specimen.

betsy this is one of my favourites as a garden plant and to use as a seed parent. Here in Deniliquin it is bullet proof, health is no problem and bloom production is pretty good. All of its offspring display these characteristics of well being and bloom production.

Ozroz, coming from you, the "we-bow-down-before-you" guru, this is thrilling news. I am enchanted with it as a flower. On your recommendation - damnfine good enough for me - my two will move tomorrow to the best spot front of house.

where about are you in NSW betsy?

Betsy , i planted it this year as well , after admiring it in my mums garden for years and years , always been a great rose for her , and a good healthy bush as well , don't know why i didn't plant it sooner .....

I'm in the Lower Hunter, Ozroz, about 20 mins west of Lake Macquarie. No sea air to speak of, so no salt. I haven't seen any PM in four years, but BS comes around at high summer.

Maree, good to have your opinion as always because we may prefer different individual roses, but we are in sync in so many ways.

Thanks Betsy , your right there , both scent blood hounds lol ... I went to mums yesterday , she and my sisters love Parole , mum's got it in a big vase and its enormous , and mum says isn't it beautiful and i just nod my head , and think no its not , but i do say , it has got a lovely perfume mum , thought of you Betsy lol ....

LOL maree - funny , wheever I see the name "Violina", I think of you

Hey, does your lovely Mum have Firefighter? I mention this because I recently threw Parole and FF together in a vase, and the look was an exquisite and showy visual pairing. I need not say that the fragrance emanating from a mere four blooms could have filled a department store.

No she doesn't have FF Betsy , but i do and you should see it at the moment , its absolutely full of blooms , my sister loves Red Cedar , aka Loving Memory or something i think , it has very little fragrance but she loves the flowers and the long stems , doesn't care that it has hardly any fragrance , and there you have it ,we all see roses in a different way lol ... ps my mum is lovely .... your right there ....

I have Firefighter blooming right now and just love its colour, the long stems, the perfume, just everything about it!
