Fragrance should be “strong” as confirmed by the fragrance prizes it has won over the years. Personally I find the fragrance strong, complex and pleasing.
Origin and Breeding Controlled Pollination between seed parent (‘Meicelna’ x ‘Meipobil’) and pollen parent ‘Meihelvet’ (syn. Sonia). The seed parent is a non commercial breeding line. The seed was sown, germinated and grown to maturity with ‘Meisionver’ being selected for, medium pink flower colour, plant habit and strong fragrance. Propagation: by conventional T- budding method, all plants were found to be uniform and stable over several generations. Breeder: Alain Meilland, Meilland International Le Cannet France.
very big bloom in a fantastic but difficult to combine color. very strong, very upright growth. very intense scent, a bit on the sweet side .never needed spraying.
I think Caprice is the best rose in my garden. Puts up with any conditions: heat, burning sun, rain, cold, etc.. Has a very long flowering season. Loads of blooms, all perfectly formed. A little black spot at the end of the season, but that doesn't seem to bother it. Excellent as a cut flower, highly scented, long stems with very few thorns (the stems grow very quickly), one bloom per stem, repeat flowering all season. Perfect!
