I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.

Double Delight Strutting Her Stuff
Double Delight remains one of the most beautiful rose blooms that can be found. If you want that classic, long-stemmed, immensely cuttable, fragrant-filled rose to fill household vases, then this is one rose to have. You will not find a more delicious smelling rose or a prettier one. I am NOT a fan of most hybrid tea plants because they are so disease prone. I only bought this one on a whim because I found it grafted on Fortuniana rootstock at a local Lowe's. Growing on that rootstock makes a HUGE difference. This plant has been healthy, floriferous, and a strong grower from day one.

I really love that rose. You captured it perfectly.
I just love the Double Delight rose too. I like them better when they first open their blooms than the rosy tint that gets all over them with age.
