Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Feb 2, 2014 9:03 PM The large, full, high-centered blooms of Double Delight have inspired photographers and delighted gardeners for almost 40 years. The rose's popularity is also boosted by its strong spicy fragrance. The habit is not one of its strong points, however. It is more inclined than most roses to display the "bare knees" syndrome and it benefits greatly from companion plantings tall enough to obscure its "knees." [ Reply to this comment | |
Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Feb 6, 2014 8:53 PM I did try to grow Double Delight, but my plant just did not thrive. I think most likely because I bought a bagged one instead of a better quality plant. The flowers are really beautiful, though, so it is no wonder that Double Delight is such a popular rose. It does need spraying for blackspot in my humid Long Island, NY garden. [ Reply to this comment | |
