I'm not happy with this rose. It's very sickly comparing to all the other roses that are in my garden. Some of them have a mild blackspot problem, but this one beats them all. I have it on a more shady place, so maybe it's time to replant it on a more sunny spot. All in all I will give it a second chance, but for now, Waltz Time is for me a slow growing and sparingly blooming rose that has problems with blackspot.

I'm so happy that I purchased this not so well knowing rose. Caroline Victoria is a very elegant looking flower. It grows a little slower, but that's no big deal for me because the petals stay really long in form. The blooms are really pretty formed, because the center petals don't open fully until the very end, forming a rounded dome. It's also really interesting to see the formation of the blooms. The first peeks of the petals look pale green-yellow. After that the outer petals are beige and the inner petals more or less yellow-peach. When it fully opens there are even some pink peaks on the rims of the inner petals. And for the cherry on the top, the scent of Caroline Victoria really reminds on raspberries like stated in the description.

I got this beauty from my old home where I was raised as a child. It's my grandmothers rose (a really big lover of roses), old at least 10 years, so I was pretty sad to see that it lost almost all it's foliage when I replanted it. Luckily for my joy to have such a beautiful memory of my grandmother in my garden, the rose started to grow new leaves. It passed almost three months from replanting and the rose has already more than 35 buds, that will bloom this season. Now I will always remember all the happy moments with my grandma, when smelling this glorious rose in my garden.
