You have some nice pictures. I have had this rose on and off for a long time. From what I have seen, it is an easy rose to grow, but not an easy rose to grow well. I have seen it on the show tables looking as good as any of the current fad show roses, but I have seen my fellow judges not give it what I would have considered due consideration. It just isn't a current fad rose. It does not produce show quality flowers consistently, but if one is honest, neither does Moonstone nor most other fad show roses. So, enjoy it for what it is.

My Paradise flowers (3rd year now) have N E V E R looked like that. Wow!! They must need heat to do better. We just don't get enough heat. Stunning, stunning rose you have there!!! I love every single one of your roses. Amazing!! Carol

I have only been a serious “rosarian” for three years but it has quickly tuned into an obsession! I only purchase Kordes roses because of their fragrance and beauty_ also pre- Covid 19, Lowe’s sold them . Unfortunately, 4 of my Summer Romance contracted RRD and had to be destroyed 😔. I bought these from Lowe’s, but my neighbor’s Knock Out roses had RRD and I suspect the wind transferred the mite to my roses. As to the Kordes Savannah, I purchased three Kordes rose bushes at Lowe’s, and although they were ticketed as Plum Perfect, the roses on the bushes were pink. I finally decided that they were mis- labeled. I’m not sure how I arrived at the conclusion that they were Kordes Savannah, probably from comparison of pictures on line. My Savannah’s have been constant and prolific bloomers for the last two years and their fragrance is divine. They are definitely pink and I see no apricot tones on mine. I have attached two photos. If these aren’t Savannah, I would appreciate a heads up. Also attached a photo of a Summer Romance bush in full bloom.

K&J - PF seems to last about as long as Double Delight which is about four days or so. My Perfume Delight lasted about two days because it opened so quickly then was gone. So PF and DD last twice as long! Another forum member, Cori Ann has posted many photos of her 9b garden near Livermore where temps regularly exceed 100+. She has a "Kordes wall" where she has successfully grown First Crush, Summer Romance, Dark Desire, and Madam Anisette. She reported that the roses are prolific, long lasting, and fragrant. It's possible to do a search on her posts which offer insights into roses that grow well in the heat. I hope you enjoy PF if you get it! Ann
