My number one criterion for choosing a rose is its fragrance. Of the 30 different roses I have, I think Intrigue has the best fragrance. Unfortunately, it is also by far the most disease- and mite-susceptible plant I own.

May I ask, what is it about the fragrance of this rose, that makes you like it more than the others? And can it be smelled from afar? (I love fragrant roses!)

The first time I smelled this variety, at an indoor garden show when it was new on the market, I was struck by the touch of lemon over the strong "old rose" perfume. That was new to me.

'Intrigue' does not always have this precise scent, but I always remember it when I'm sniffing.
