I grow this rose. It has been very good in my garden. No black spot or rose rust. An we have had a very bad summer with rain almoust every day. The flowers are not very good in the rain and the flowers don`t smell anything. But I think it is a good rose.

In responding back to my own question: well, my 2 cinderella fairytale roses are blooming now. This is their 1st year growing in pots. I adore their lush healthy dark green leaves. They look very waxy, shiny, round, and leathery. I have to bury my nose inside those petals and breathe deeply in order to detect a mild -medium scent reminisce of sweet apple flavoured chewy gum or maybe a shampoo with an apple scent. Well, that's because only 2 flowers are opening at the moment. Can't wait for all the flower-clusters to open up(approx. 6 in a cluster). Maybe then I could detect a much stronger fragrance. The blooms are very cute, pinkie, tiny, and quartered(sp?). Hence, the name, "Cinderella", which sort of suit the rose itself. I wouldn't use the word "beautiful". They looked so different from all my other roses that I have which are mainly cupped David Austin's. This is my first kordes floribunda rose, although quite thorny, but I'm starting to like it.
