Got it last Fall at Otto and Sons. Very pleased with it so far. Good strong new growth. Lots of blooms in large clusters. It does fade some but it still compliments the fresh color. Wonderful fragrance.

I'm glad to know that, thank you. It was such a good price and pretty good size too. One cane is almost three feet with these flowers on top. I'll let it climb if it wants to. :)

I'm waiting for mine to grow more...it's a new rose that's taking its time...probably my fault. I'm excited to see its blooms!

Stopand - really beautiful blooms!! What is the fragrance like...rose, lemon, etc.??

I bought Perfume Factory in May, I'm so glad I added it to the garden. The fragrance is a fruity Tea Rose to my nose.

The fuchsia/purple blooms are fabulous.

rosecanadian, it smells strong and fruity to me. Yesterday I almost sniffed a Japanese beetle hiding in the petals! I guess it's time to get a soapy bucket ready.

Krista, your photos are gorgeous. Does the scent hover in the air around it?

I planted mine by the front door so I can get the most enjoyment out of the fragrance. I like the faded color combination too:

Maybe I should have a more cottage garden type planter rather than this modern square one.

Krista - those are beautiful roses!!! The fragrance sounds wonderful!! I can't wait!! :)

Stop/smell - I like your candy avatar!! Such pretty blooms!! And the fragrance sounds great!!

There were not enough blooms to tell if the scent is wafting. I do like the fragrance, and the color of the blooms is fantastic.

Mmmmmm :) :)

Couple of new buds opened up. They have a little japanese beetle damage put still look and smell lovely to me.

I don't see any jb damage...looks great! I love the scalloped petal edging!

The color is lovely. Now i’m tempted to get one.

I bought this rose because of color and hybrid tea...however it is not a hybrid tea, it is a Floribunda. I am not happy. There are alot of other roses I would have bought that are hybrid teas. The fragrance to me is not that overwhelming either

Weeks introduced three roses that year Perfume Factory, Fun in the Sun, Queen of Elegance. They were quite similar in bloom habit, blooming mostly in clusters , with relatively big flowers. I think any of them could have fit any of the categories, Hybrid Tea, Grandiflora, Floribunda. They chose PF to be the HT, FiTS to be the GR, QoE as Floribunda. I would have definitely chosen QoE as the GR, she’s by far the most vigorous. But I think all three are very good roses with much to offer, that’s what is most important.

I am wondering about the size of Perfume Factory. HelpMeFind site lists

Height: 42" to 5½' (105 to 165cm). Width: 4' to 5'1" (120 to 155cm).

However, most of the nurseries show height 4’ to 6’，width 3’ to 4’。

Folks who grow this rose, what is its size for you?

Thanks

Thanks Ben, that is a very beautiful rose. I am getting it from high country rose with others and looking forward to having them in the garden!

That’s great, Newbie! I think the fragrance is stronger than the real Tiffany!

Ben,

I initially ordered Tiffany from High Country too too. But my friend gave me a rooted plant, swearing it was the real Tiffany, saying it was Very fragrant, and persuaded me to take it off the order. These are the pictures. I hope she is right. I also ordered lady in red, seeing you recommended in other threads. Thanks a lot

That sure looks like the real Tiffany, congratulations! I do think think Lady in Red is an outstanding rose . It has the best branching and dense foliage of any climber I have grown, which gives it the energy to be a terrific repeat bloomer.

Ben, your Lady in Red looks stunning! I think the color will look good on our cream brick wall, and the compact size fits the spot by the garage. Hopefully nearby Perfume Factory will lend her some fragrance :)

Ben - great picture...your yard is stuffed with flowers...love!!

Gorgeous photo, Ben. I love your Lady in Red and wish I had room for her. Love the setting of this rose. Is this your California garden? Amazing. Diane

Lady in Red is from when I was in Texas, she was too big to move so I left her for the new owner. Perfume Factory is in California, I just took the pic a few days ago.
