It's the best fragrance out of over 1,000 bushes at the rose park. The other strong fragrances at the rose park are Bolero and Frederick Mistral.strawberryhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357882094032176300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-31764321785862072562011-04-05T05:35:27.161-07:002011-04-05T05:35:27.161-07:00VW !!

So many lovely shades of pink. I don't care about myrrh either, although I do have to say that at least I can smell it consistently (my Carding Mill has a heavy myrrh fragrance). I have two WS2000 and often can't detect any fragrance from them:(.

They're so delicious. I've ordered most of mine from David Austin (google the name to get to their website and request a free catalog, I LOVE looking through their gorgeous pictures).
