Hybrid Tea Rose 'Fragrant Cloud'

I purchased Fragrant Cloud last season from a local store as a potted plant. I was approx 3ft at the time of purchase, it is approx 8ft ...Read Morenow. It grew sooo fast, i had to loop it and stake it to the ground, so now there are hundrends of buds because of the looping, the scent of this rose is amazing, it think it is stronger than my double delights, barbra streisand. This bush flowered in november and the flower was approx 6inches, the scent was so strong my neighbor smelled it and came over to find out what the rose was, she wants to purchase one... This rose has gotten some black spotting, but we have had lots of rain in the last couple of months, but i have not noticed any mildew. Came through the winter with no dieback.

The plant did not die back at all-were still at least three feet tall in the spring. I planted three more. The blooms last better than many other varieties.

It does not grow very tall, and the flower stems tend to be short. Sometimes the flower form is excellent, but sometimes it is asymmetrical. It reblooms well.

Probably my favorite rose, second only to Double Delight. A wonderfully strong fragrance and gorgeous coral-pink blooms. This rose has ...Read Moreperformed beautifully for me. Since we are relocating to Arizona from California in less than a month, I will buy this rose immediately after our move. You will love this rose as much as I do.

This rose has received more compliments than any other. It's scent is fantastic. My only complaint would be that it opens really fast. ...Read More It's an electric orange and if I had to do it over, I would have put it in the center of the bed because the bright color makes the flower bed 'lean' as I have a white at the other end. But it is lovely and pairs well with white daisies and purple wild geranium.
