@zuzu wishing you only the best for your well deserved 'permanent hiatus'. We have missed you and hope that you pop in from time to time to chat and share pictures of your beautiful roses
@Calif_Sue posting pictures like the ones above make a very good case for 'Brothers Grimm'.
Those pictures of 'Eureka' are spectacular and I would be sorely tempted if it was available here in Europe. I see that 'Eureka' is still on the Newflora website so you might consider contacting Chris Pellet to find out where you could acquire it.

Goes without saying - a very fragrant rose that doesn't look good and requires constant pampering is not on the cards.
Steve,
foliage is definitely one for the list!
My preference is for glossy or semi-glossy foliage rather than matt. I think it just makes the whole plant look healthier.
