Honey Perfume or Honey Bouquet?

13 years ago

Earlier in the season, I saw Honey Bouquet at the Portland Rose Garden and it was gorgeous. Yesterday, I saw Honey Perfume at Avery Park in Corvallis. Am curious about which blooms more consistently, disease resistance, etc. is a better rose. Thanks, CJ

I have Honey Perfume, it grows so well for me, flowers for a long time from late spring thru Nov. And the heavenly perfume...what can i say..

It has been quite disease resistant, just the occasional aphid problem so far, and maybe just a hint of powdery mildew when its real humid..but other than that, I've not had any problems with it.

So, performance-wise, I like the Honey Perfume. It did say on the label, when I bought it that it was quite disease resistant.

I cannot speak for Honey Bouquet, I don't have one.
Hope my experience helps.

I've grown both, and I say go for Honey Bouquet. Its blooms can be absolute perfection and they LAST. Disease resistance is better than average. I grew Honey Perfume a few years ago, and it didn't impress me, altho I would say it has a stronger fragrance.

An excellent rose for warm weather climates as the blooms hold forever in the heat. Needs sheltered position in colder zones to protect from winter winds. The pale yellow blooms darken somewhat in cool weather and have a light pleasant fragrance. A good cut flower, lasting well in the vase. A big plus for me is that it is not a Thrips magnet, (unusual for a light colored rose).

Sorry I don't have photos, but I do grow both and they are lovely, especially Gingersnap. It is a striking orange color on large floribunda blooms and my second year plant is just really beginning to establish itself. I think that in one more year it will really take off and gain more bush height and bloom even more. John

I love the apricot color with the blush of pink coming up in the middle. I guess that is why it is called About Face---good name--- Florence

I would get Honey Bouquet. I have this one on my list for this fall. I have Honey Perfume and I am not that happy with it but, I have only had it since last spring. Our roses here in the heat of the Az desert really don't do much in the hot summers so, I will get the full effect of Honey Perfume this winter. But last spring I did get a few blooms before it turned hot. I have seen Honey Bouquet in pics and it looks so pretty, I have to have that one too. If I had to make a choice of only one of them, I would of purchased Honey Bouquet only.
