The scent is just as the name says, sweet as honey. I really only had flowers for about two weeks last year since planting so late, but there are tons of buds on it today and I look forward to seeing them soon!

What a beautiful rose! I wish I had more sunny areas so that I could get one!

Oh man, that's one of the pricey ones. I hope I can find a cheaper source. Did you order or get yours locally wubba?

By the way, how did you come by that name? I like it, lol.

Capt
I actually got this at the end of summer for basically a song, maybe $10 - $12. I got it from a local nursery in Oakland County Michigan called Bordines. They have four locations, and I really like their stuff. Check out their website (Bordines.com) for some great pictures of plants. I don't think they ship, unfortunately.
Wubba is short for Wubba Lu, a nickname I gave my 12y/o daughter when she was a baby. Probably from lack of sleep, no doubt.

I'm going to keep an eye out for this one at the garden stores. I even found a hardware store with Jack and Pekins roses in.

Hi, I haven't posted here before, but I'd like to ask a few questions on this plant. I bought mine in the spring and put it in a large container. It bloomed beautifully all summer, survived endless bouts with diseases and endless attacks from Jap. Beetles, (I used various products to keep them at bay). It's flourishing now and I'm wondering if these can be brought inside to overwinter? Or, in my zone 7, could it survive planting in the ground now? Or, should I just bring it into my minimally sunny garage?
I don't have a lot of room for it indoors, but don't want to lose it.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
