Favorite Fragrance in the Garden
Comments (45)I'm going out of my mind (easy for me to do) trying to figure out what this tree is that I have. I want to name it here because for about 1 month in spring it permeates the air everywhere on my property with the most magnificent fragrance. Huge tree, 1 leaf stem has multiple small leave groups with 1 leave apiece at the end, then they go to 5 leaves, then 7 leaves then connect with other same groups. Flowers are larger than lilacs but less bulky with similar fragrance - a lavendar/pinkish color. Seeds are absolutely distinctive, round hard as rock, and about the size of a dime in diameter. The seeds are grouped on the tree, but drop individually. It makes a horrible mess, and walking over the seeds is like skating on unsteady roller skates. When I first moved here I couldn't figure out where that fragrance was coming from. Took a while to figure out to look up!...See MoreDark Pink & Strong Fragrance?

Comments (32)I lovvvve Alfred Sisley, and it survives nicely in my zone 5 area. What makes it stand out for me is the truly coral-orange nature of the stripes, which is a nice change from the usual pink/red with white combinations of many of the striped roses. It's a pretty steady bloomer in good sun and survived multiple winters in a normal zone 5 spot. Eventually the graft failed, so I replaced it in a warmer spot to make sure to keep it going. It's in the highly sought-after "Painters" series of Delbard roses that I cherish. Camille Pissarro and Marc Chagall just came back into circulation after many years of unavailability in the US. I don't know if it's fragrant though - I can never tell because I have a poor "nose" for flowers - but it's not reported to be fragrant. I don't have a full bush shot, but it stays 3' or below. Here's a bloom and bud showing you some of the color variations This is a larger spray with some of the lighter blooms starting to fade. And here's a favorite "glamour shot" that shows the striping off to best effect. The color is true to my eyes as shown here. Of course, as much as I love the other striped painter series from Delbard, none of them compare in my world to Edgar Degas, but that's a topic for a separate thread. Again, I don't think he's fragrant, but that is his only flaw that I can find. Cynthia...See More- 18 years ago
