My original Eden also balled in rain, but it made a good cutting rose. It also had blackspot even in dry years. The Traviatas have a wonderful strong fragrance. Red gets an 8.0 rating on ARS, but pink only had 7.4. I think it deserves an 8.
Twice this summer, in local nurseries, I bought roses that were labeled Bolero, both with Star tags, and neither one was correct. One was a pink hybrid tea, the other a dark red. I'm hoping Regan sends me a good genuine Bolero.
