'Everest Double Fragrance' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Someone who grows this rose emailed the following: It is amazing. I thought it was called "double fragrance" because of its strong scent, but it actually has two (well, three) fragrances. In the morning it smells like apples and cloves (incredible!), and towards the late afternoon it has a more traditional rose scent. Mine is right by my back door, so I get to smell its wonderful changing fragrance as I go in and out during the day. At nearly 5 ft tall, it's right at nose level. The earlier in the morning it is, the more it smells like apples. Towards 10 or 11 am, the clove smell gets stronger. It smells good enough to eat! A very extraordinary rose, and one of the best to grow for fragrance.
