this rose has a very distinct lemon peel fragrance, which is very freshing. the strength of fragrance is mid-strong.
the color is deep red with some orange tone, a please to the eye.
the rose could be a very good cut flower, the petals are thick and stiff, which stand with rain well.
a very special red rose i would say.

I came across this rose in at least 4 different occassions, flower beds\nursery\flower market..., but I had never selt any fragrance from it.....
and this rose seems to blow out very soon...hard to keep the high center shape...

During the growing season, I have found mine sometimes scentless and sometimes smells strongly like apples. I think its weather dependent. Unsure if its weather when the buds are forming or when they are blooming.

Hmmm, only a little bit of fragrance on this one here. Anytime they name something "Parfuma," I expect better. Marketing!

Agreed ... nice rose, but it's like the perfume didn't make it through customs.

Mine has a strongly developed plant now, so I'm going to see if having a larger root system has an affect on the fragrance or not (it does in some damask HTs). I'll try to remember to report back.

What is a "damask HT"?

I think Michael means HTs with Damask scent.

Sorry Damask HT is basically the darker red types with damask fragrance, or at least referred to as damask fragrance even if its not lol.

Tested the scent today. If I REALLY bury my nose in there, its moderate fragrance. The plant is very nice, and the blooms are pretty, but labeling it Parfuma is a stretch by Kordes in my opinion.
The soil has adequate water. The plant is healthy and robust. The blooms are large and full. The weather has been cool mornings and mid-80s afternoons. So there is no real reason for it not to be fragrant. I just think Kordes overstated the strength of scent. Or maybe they're really sensitive to that type of scent.
For those reading, I'd still buy it again. It looks romantic and its very healthy. But don't expect it to blow your nose away lol.
Edit: Days later, I tested it again. It rained yesterday and has been cool. Today, it was dry, cool and overcast. The scent was moderate and peach scented. As in the scent of cut peaches.

Contemplating getting this rose. How long do blooms last in a vase and on the plant? Thanks in advance.

Average length when on the plant, so I assume similar to average when cut.

A lot of people in China commend SC for its strong fragrance and remontancy.
But strangely enough, though my SC has given me 3 flushes during spring(truly remontant), non of them seems to have "strong fragrance", only very mild smell....
Even troubles me more is that both the plants I and my mom grow(which are in different zones in China) died in the summer time, is SC not heat-tolerant?

I live in Atlanta GA. I bought this rose from High Country Roses. It looks like the photos during spring. Mid summer it loses its leaves, presumably to disease. I don't smell a damask scent. Mine is light and peppery. I sometimes wonder if mine is actually Sweet Chariot. It does seem vigorous for a mini rose.
