Day 8: Fragrant Rose Advent Calendar

It’s time for the first and only miniature! The only miniature rose that has won a Gamble award is here!

Well almost. First, let’s talk about the winner from 2007.

Fragrant Plum.
This is the same story as Chrysler Imperial. Remember how I’m an idiot. Yea. I got rid of this rose a few years ago, because it just wasn’t perfect I replaced it with Plum Perfect. I want my Fragrant Plum back.

Hybridized by Jack E. Christensen it’s a mauve rose with pink petals and a classic shape. The fragrance is classic centifolia with a bit of grape. So once again the fruity floral family. Loubidoo by Christian Louboutin smells similar.

Sweet Chariot.

The miniature king Ralph S. Moore finally makes the list. Sweet Chariot is a purple cutie. With a max height of eighteen inches, it’s just right for a container.

The fragrance is a heavenly damask, a solid entry into floral family.  Stella by Stella McCartney is a great pair.
