I have just identified Isabellas scent too,
A very mild soapy fragrance.
Sweet but not overpowering
I am able to stick my size 13 nose up in there and take a sniff! lol!!

My valley Peach Bloomed for the first time tonight.
She is a first year cutting, not a real fast grower but not dissapointing either.
Her scent is mild and sweet, Reminds me of Bubble Gum!!!
The flowers are a little leather like but this is her first year so ill give her a pass on scent and growth habit! ;)
I look forward to Charles Grimaldis blooms probably next year.
He has spent the year growing back from an accidental and severe cutting.
I guess about 5 foot so far, not too bad huh?
Blooms will follow, perhaps in my basement lol!!
I convert my basement into a greenhouse every winter, I hate to letem all go dormant.
This also allows me to force growth and shape the brugs whilst taking plenty of cuttings as well. ;)
Here are some pics to enjoy. ;)
