I had it for 6 years along the gulf coast, it never grew or bloomed well for me. It had nice scent, but never really rook off.

Thanks, kingcobb.

in the desert of the Antelope Valley (I don't think an antelope has ever set hoof here), even the most fragrant roses are bland, due to lack of humidity. LL is more, to me, a very dark, dusky pink with rather small blooms. I still like it, though.

Thank you, Jim and roses. I love Firefighter, and mine is becoming more prolific, I'm not giving up on it becoming a better bloomer for me. My very favorite fragrant red is Chrysler Imperial, but it hasn't been vigorous for me, love the blooms though.

Lasting Love isn't fond of heat or dry... both of which we have in spades <sigh>.

I've been curious to try this one. I think its foliage is great.

I sniffed it at a nursery; it is sweetly fragrant, but not in the same fashion as Chrysler Imperial or Oklahoma.

This and Hacienda (Firefighter) are on my list of fragrant, red moderns to check out.

It's a great plant, nice structure & leaves, healthy & vigorous for me that isn't a water hog once established. I don't like the color. It's a dull flat rosy red, almost gray magenta... don't recall the flower shape or fragrance, so it must be passable.

I really liked Cesar Chavez, O.L. Weeks & Loving Memory this year. Variable fragrance for those three depending on conditions.
