Fragrant Masterpiece
About: this rose was created in 2002. My rose is from 2014. It survived overwintering in the upper northwest corner of washington, in a 10 gallon pot, very well, but we had a mild winter.
Color: blush pink, lightest pink to pale pink with a tiny bit of yellow at the base of the petals
Blooms: Frequent, continuous from Spring till Fall. Creates clusters of blooms (no single roses)
Fragrance: Delightful. A mixture of rose scents, I have a hard time distinguishing any out. 'Strong Sweet' is how heirloom roses describes it... I find it very lovely, not my favorite (that is Magnificent Perfume, currently, but I have about 10 new rose plants about to bloom, so that could change...)
Size: 4' tall, I have mine in a pot. It grows long and out, wide, out the sides of the pot, I have to make sure to cut it back well. Mine hasn't been bushy yet, but that isn't to say it's not possible- it's in the shrub class.
Notes: I covered most of it above. It isn't the most disease resistant, but I am very happy with this rose. The smell is very pretty and unique. the individual rose bloom stems are very small if you try to cut them to bring them inside - because the blooms are growing in clusters - so if you aren't impatient, it's best to wait until they are all blooming before cutting.

FloraLife flower food: I purchased a big box for a small amount of money on amazon last year that contains hundreds of tiny packets of flower food. It's the powdery substance you put in water for your cut flowers. You usually get 1 or 2 for free when you buy a dozen roses. I use a new packet every couple days in my vases. One of the best purchases ever!
