It looks like this but I think the petals are more cut. Anyway, I was able to find the information about the name via the net. It was named to honor of the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Abbey of Citeaux in France, the home of the Cistercian monks later to be known as the Trappists.

My plant just up and died for no reason I can figure out. If you can get cuttings of this rose, I surely would like them. I have an extensive list of available trades (see my rose list under "Rosaholics Southern California Garden" on the HMF site), or will pay postage. Thanks, Kathy

Kathy, I can relate to your post on many points, esecially to do with Double Delight, a fragrant beauty, but not qute beyond compare. I have three right now and I did have a quadro of standards of Double Delight, before deer devistation. But you are right it is a fabulous rose. I do believe though, that in the fragrance sector, that Crysler Imperial, Sharifa Asma, Pink Peace, Abraham Darby, Brother Cadfael, and the newer Frederik Mistral are at LEAST on par in that department.........and all VERY beautiful too. Hope you know some or all of these roses. If not, I highly recommend each and every one. Just my own personal opinion. But I never would doubt your words on Double Delight, a wonderful rose. I need more than three if I can juggle my spaces around.:) Pauline - Vancouver Island

Beth---I need some cuttings of Raspberry Swirls. Get in touch with me some how, some way. This rose is about to disappear. Hear is what I have; Remember Me Randy Scott I also grow Renegade. A beautiful red/white blend mini. I don't have a decent picture of it. I'll have to concentrate on getting some good shots this year.
