This is the most strongly fragranced rose. The fragrance is spicy. Flowers are beautiful soft yellow that ages to almost white in hot weather. It blooms continuously and has almost zero thorns. It had thorns on the initial canes but new growth throughout season has zero thorns making it a dream to collect long stem roses to bring inside. Highly recommended in hot dry climates. The petals will crisp a bit in temps over 90 but fragrance is always there.

I wrote an earlier review about the fragrance of Lemon Spice, but I wanted to let people know that as the bushes age, they strengthen and grow taller. Last summer, I was unable to photograph many blooms on my two bushes because they soared well above my head in midsummer. The fragrance is still intense, and the blooms are gorgeous to a former rose competitor.

I sniffed this beauty at the Huntington Library and Garden in So. Cal, and knew immediately I had to have it. Lo and behold, I found it with Heirloom and I have been hooked ever since. I hate to play favorites but the scent is truly outstanding, immediately puts me in a good mood! If fragrance is your thing (it is mine) you will treasure this one

I first planted this rose 35 years ago, in front of some south facing windows. The 100+ degree summers didn't phase it, and single bloom could perfume the entire house. We've since moved, and I've been unable to find this rose - until now. I'm delighted.

I bought this with two other tea roses for my zone 6a garden and it’s been the healthiest, most big resistant and most frequent bloomer. It also has a lovely fruity tea rose fragrance true to its name. Now to see how it weathers an Indiana winter!
