Rose 'Perfume Delight' PP#3,282
Its rich Old Damask Rose fragrance and heavy rebloom make this hybrid tea exceptional.
These perfectly symmetrical, whorled blooms arise from pointed ovoid buds, swirling open into high-centered blooms 4 1/2 to 5 inches wide. Held on long, straight 15-inch stems, they are the quintessential cutting rose, the long-stemmed beauty most people think of when they hear the word "rose." And 'Perfume Delight' earns its name with a strong fragrant reminiscent of Old Damask Roses from grandmother's garden. Rich, heady, and intense, the scent is astonishing.
Unlike most hybrid teas, which offer just one season of color, 'Perfume Delight' repeats in midsummer after several weeks' rest from its main (and heavier) late spring and early summer show. In some climates it may even encore again in late summer. Remarkably vigorous for a Rose bred 35 years ago, it is a true treasure.
'Perfume Delight' measures 3 feet high and wide, making a fine container choice (a pair on the patio or at either side of the garden entrance is particularly stunning). It also fares well in the garden as a foreground planting for taller, leggier cultivars. Given full sunshine, good drainage, and enriched soil, this is a robust performer, guaranteed to delight for many, many seasons to come. And why not? One parent was the Peace Rose, while the other was a cross of R. 'Happiness' x R. 'Chrysler Imperial' -- an impeccable pedigree that outdid itself in its offspring! Zones 6-10.

Additional pruning tips for healthy, beautiful, productive roses:- Whether you’re deadheading, removing dead wood, or performing an annual pruning, make sure your cuts are no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) above a bud, and slope the cut away from the bud, to prevent water from collecting on it.
- Your cuts should always be clean, so keep your pruning shears sharp, and use pruning tools that are appropriately sized to whatever size stems you are cutting.
- To encourage an open-centered form, cut to an outward-facing bud. To encourage upright growth on roses with a spreading habit, prune a few of the stems to inward-facing buds.
- Prune any dieback to the healthy, white pith.
- Remove dead or diseased stems, as well as any that cross or are spindly.
- Your goal should be to have well-spaced stems that allow for a free flow of air.
- If pruning an established plant, remove any old wood that is flowering poorly, and use a saw to get rid of old stubs that are no longer producing new shoots.
- Other than climbing roses, you should prune newly planted roses hard, which encourages vigorous shoot production.
- When removing suckers, trace them back to the roots from which they are growing, and simply take them off.
