  1. Hello Vicki, I planted the Madam Anisette 2 years ago and it will probably have to move out of my garden again this fall. There are several reasons: I had ordered the rose because of its advertised fragrance. It does smell, but you have to stick your nose right into the blossom to notice anything of it. I cut the Madam back to knee height in spring and then it literally shot up. The new shoots are now about 70 inches long, but unfortunately, due to their height, they also like to fall over and then lie criss-cross in the bed.

    So you have to support and tie the shoots all the time, which I don’t like at all. So the growth habit is rather a spackle and not bushy. The flowers are really beautiful, but unfortunately not very durable. A plus point is their health and the really beautiful, shiny foliage. I also have the Constanze Mozart, and also from her, I expected much more from the fragrance. Otherwise a beautiful rose, very healthy and vigorous, beautiful flowers, but even after 2 years it still has to grow into a beautiful bush. It still looks a bit sticky, but it may stay. Unfortunately, it must be said that Kordes always severely exaggerates with its fragrance description, which has disappointed me a bit, if Kordes also delivers super goods and is very accommodating.

    If you are looking for beautiful, bushy, easy-growing, repeat-flowering roses with an intoxicating fragrance that can be perceived even at a distance of 9.8 fits, then I can warmly recommend Jacques Cartier and Rose de Resht. We had Rose de Resht in our previous garden. It is absolutely low-maintenance, takes nothing badly, if it became too big for us, then we simply cut it off radically, and then it grew and bloomed again cheerfully. I fertilized it as a (then still) rose layman only once in a blue moon and it also never needed any plant protection and still had always dense green foliage, often even into the winter, and that in the Black Forest at 680 yards altitudes! An amazing rose that you can’t go wrong with. Now we planted the Jacques Cartier 3 years ago and it grows, blooms and thrives, and smells quite wonderful. It is now already a really nice bush of about 47 inches in height. And it is very similar to the Rose de Rest in all positive qualities.

    1. I can recommend Mary Rose and Young Lycidas for their fragrance and flowering. I have Mary as a high stem, Young Lycidas as a shrub. Prolific, healthy, and really fragrant roses!

  2. I have the Munstead Wood, it unfortunately had to move (a total of three) last fall and therefore has bloomed little this year. Before the move, however, already in a very beautiful color! About the leaf health I can not complain, it has no diseases at all with me. Otherwise, I can really wholeheartedly recommend the Leonardo da Vinci, which blooms like the devil 😀 , as well as the already mentioned Mary Rose.
