What customers say
The 'Double Delight' rose is overwhelmingly loved for its powerful, classic fragrance and dramatic bi-color display, transitioning from cream to deep cherry red. Enthusiasts value its prolific blooming and suitability as a long-lasting cut flower. However, a clear trade-off exists between its aesthetic rewards and ease of care. New gardeners often find the plant demanding due to its susceptibility to common fungal issues like black spot and mildew, requiring consistent preventative treatment. While the bloom quality is exceptional, its overall hardiness lowers the general ease of growth score. This rose offers premium sensory features but is decidedly not a low-maintenance option for everyone.
