This rose has been around since 1976, and yes its colors and scent(it smells so good you want to eat it) are second to no other.The only problem with this rose,that will make you very unhappy, is its lack of vigor and longevity.A year or 2 after planting its vigor will slowly decrease until it produces few or no flowers and begs to be dug. I am describing a DD grafted on Rosa Dr Huey which is an old standard in rose propagation.Now for the good news. This rose has been grafted on a new root stock and so far the vigor is excellent, but its too soon to judge the longevity factor but I predict it will far out perform Dr Huey.So don't run out and buy a Double Delight, you will be disappointed. I can tell you where you can get the NEW Double Delight if you want one.
