I love this species and its varieties. I think that it is one of those plants that is easier for a home grower than a greenhouse grower because of its liking of warmer temperatures. This one is also very compact: about 10 inches tall from the top of the pot.

Yes, but not as strong as the 'Arthur Chadwick' clone. It is strongest in the AM.

Beautiful! It is an excellent clone.

Those are really pretty. A wonderful species also, even though its preference for year-round warm temperatures have been what's kept me from getting a number of the varieties. The scent is good, yes?

Yes, the scent is good, but not as intense as 'Arthur Chadwick'. That clone smells intensely of a rose in the morning.
