Hi,
According to the local press in Rosenheim, Germany (http://rosenheim.bayern-online.de/magazin/freizeit/haus-garten/artikelansicht/rosen-fuer-rosenheim-thuillard-rose-landesgartenschau-rosenheim-2010/), this new Huber cultivar is a selfed seedling of Golden Celebration - and indeed the photo in the link does bear a much stronger resemblence to GC than to those of it already shared on HMF - although the article describes the color as salmon.
FWIW...
(Side note: Frau Thuillard donated 26 plants of her namesake to Rosenheim for its 2010 garden expo after visiting her daughter there and adopting the city as her second home.)
Keep up the great work, HMF!
Paul

Hi Again,
This one also seems to have a bloom description that doesn't match any of the photos.
Thanks,
Paul

I was looking for a strongly fragrant perfumed floribunda pink rose when a knowledgeable friend suggested that I should try out Radox Bouquet.
So, I looked up several mail order catalogues, and to my surprise, several of them classified Radox Bouquet as a Hybrid Tea rose, and some suppliers categorise the fragrance as 'mild'.
So, I am now confused ....... to those who have/had experience with Radox Bouquet, please let me have your opinion on the following:
1) Is Radox Bouquet a floribunda rose bush, as stated in this site http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=5062&tab=1
2) How would you rate the fragrance / perfume of Radox Bouquet (mild ? medium ? or strong ?)
Looking forward to your opinion.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi HelpSeeker,
I grow 'Radox Bouquet'. It is definitely a floribunda. It has strong fragrance in the cooler months and much milder fragrance in the hottest months. Unfortunately, most roses, apart from the very fragrant 'reds', can't sustain fragrance at the same level all year. There are periods of ups and downs. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your comments and advice, Cheryl.
Apologies for the late acknowledgement of your reply.
My Radox Bouquet started blooming recently, and I am certainly very pleased with its flower form, its vigour, its colour, and most of all its fragrance ...... it is one of the most fragrant floribunda rose I have come across ....... (almost as strong as Angel Face) ...... :-)
I have been told that red and/or pink floridunda roses seldom have a good fragrance, so I am very thrilled to have planted the Radox Bouquet.
Cheers !!!
p/s: Just one little comment to add ..... the older blooms tend to fade to a pale pinkish-white ...... is that normal?

I saw RB last June in Regents' Park* in London, where the sheer quantity of bloom made it really stand out even among so many other outstanding varieties being grown to perfection: the plants were already nearly 5' (1.4m) tall, with impeccable lush foliage and amazing fragrance despite the cold and rain that day. (I'm not very keen on pink but this one is getting a prime spot in my garden!)
*If you get the chance to visit there, it's located along the right-hand edge of the park about 100 yards (100m) from the main gate in the southwest corner.

(Sorry, P.S. re floribunda: yes, the individual blossoms are floribunda-sized (~3"/8cm), and those of us in colder zones will probably have to cut our bushes back further than those in London.)
