Aye, another rose.
This is 'Brandy' and it is the rose right outside my bedroom window. Three years ago I didn't have any roses, now I have -- uh -- several. This rose was one of the first ones planted and was sickly when I got it; it has barely made it through the past two winters but I'm hopeful it will get stronger. It's still rather stunted and has only been producing 1-2 blossoms at a time, but it's such a great color -- very much like sunlight through a decanter of brandy. It has a very pleasant, well-mannered scent.
If you want a rose that really STINKS like a rose, get a Chrysler Imperial. I've got one of those, too, and love it as well.
