    Hi all 0)
    Alpine Sunset just opening up, as it opens fully it becomes less orange and more yellow - just like a sunset!! The outer petals got a bit rain damaged but it is still a stunning rose, only grows to 2' and has a strong perfume, this is my favourite.

    Hi Gemini. Lovely Rose and it also makes a change to have a strong perfume in a Rose nowadays.
    there are so many modern Roses look Beautiful in Appearance but Sadly lack in Perfume.
    i for one, when i see a Beautiful Rose i Instinctively smell the Rose and when it has no Perfume it is a big let down:( Enjoy music:cool:.

    Lovely rose, Gemini.

    I feel the same about perfume, Music. I won't buy a rose which has no smell. I've noticed that growers now pay much more attention to this aspect of their plants, whereas a few years ago it was largely left out of catalogues. I think it must be because it's what most customers want.
