I agree that bs pressure is different in Europe than it is here - as hot as we experiennced in Europe it wasn't ever so humid as it is here. My zone is not the same but maybe my experience still can assist you. Olga, I have Caramel Fairy tale, Cinderella Fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale. All three were absolutely clean till the spider mites did a number on them. Late fall Caramel Fairy tale had some weird spots, looked anthracnose rather than blackspot. Maybe it was cercospora. I can, (I hope or think), differentiate between blackspot and anthracnose but diagnosing cercospora is hit and miss with me (it usually works in my case as process of elimination rather than positive ID). Cinderella also got some spots in winter but again, I do not think that was blackspot. To my present surprise, both Floral fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale are fragrant. Let me add, that we sprayed once before we left overseas - but these shrubs were NOT sprayed and due to illness, surgery and so forth I could not spray till mid-August. That time these shrubs were sprayed not because of spots but because of the spider mite infestation and to kill two birds with one stone, we mixed Avid with tebuconazole, so that time all roses were sprayed including those that I never sprayed before or after. My favorites are Floral Fairy tale and Caramel Fairy tale. They do grow taller and wider than I expected but I trust your pruning skills, LOL. I post a few photos of Floral fairy tale showing the foliage. The first was taken in April, next 1 or 2 in early may while the last one in August in August I found only one picture of caramel Fairy tale that shows foliage (looks the plant had either iron deficiency or some other nutrient deficiency - no wonder since I could not water, we had no rain and I missed fertilizing)

Yes I have this rose; I planted it last winter, late February. It started blooming in mid-April. I like this rose a lot; it has healthy foliage and beautiful blooms. It is not a small and short floribunda though, mine is about 4 ' wide if not more and gets about 4' tall with occasional longer canes. My photos aren't as good as the one you see on Ashdown's site, but they may help you to see the color variation of the blooms that I like very much.

Susan, whack the rogue canes back to 3". You can let them bloom first or not. Then the cane makes 2 or 3 laterals; cut these back to 2 or 3 leaves each and you get more branches. Etc. Or, if the canes are flexible and 4-7' long, bend the cane in a hoop and tie it to its own base ("self-pegging"). It will make 3 or 4 laterals at the top of the arch. You can cut off the outer/downward section later if you want. Or, something that works with some varieties not others is to pinch out the growth tips of strong basals when they are about 14" long. Be sure you get the fleshy growth tip, not just leaves. Some roses will branch in response, others will make just one shoot and keep going up. Most shrub roses have an awkward adolescence. You have to be patient and work with them for a few years, just as you know your daughter won't be 13 forever.

I've got one kordes fairytale rose - "Climb. Cinderella". The foliage is VERY impressive: glossy, clean, and healthy and looks completely different to my other DA roses. This is my first kordes floribunda rose and Cinderella has about 6-8 flowering buds in a cluster. However, the apple scent is mild to medium and sometimes, I couldn't smell anything. The flowers last for a long time compare to DA's. I can clearly see why Cinderella had won several international awards because the flowers do look really "cute" in a vase - but in the garden Cinderella seems to be like another ordinary pink rose. If I have a house, I would grow a set of David Austin roses in the front yard. I don't mind their delicate petals. I just love that light pastel, cup-shaped look. Just imagine having people from your neighborhood walking pass your house and ABLE to smell something - I'm sure you'll get lots of compliments from them. I've walked passed several houses in my area, most of them grow roses that I can't smell anything. The ones that I can smell would usually leave a good impression to my mind.
