Beautiful colour and nodding heads! I don't suppose you could comment on the fragrance? Thanks

It has a fresh tea fragrance not a rich damask scent.

A strange description of the flower. Is there a contradiction?
Apricot or apricot blend Large-Flowered Climber.
Versus:
Climber, Large-Flowered Climber.
Deep pink to carmine-pink.

It is slightly paler on the reverse of the petals but even in the summer when it was quite hot the flowers never showed any apricot colour at all.

The same question wasraised in a 2009 comment. Apricot blend must be an error in Modern Roses.

Jay-Jay, the info on line ARS is what the American Rose Society publishes. They have to change it, then we can follow. Our description of colour is correct.

Sir Paul Smith, the climber bred by Beales in 2006, is a carmine pink not apricot.

It sure is. Must be a mistake from the registration form that was used for Modern Roses. Thanks.
