Scentimental
(Floribunda, 1997) – white streaked with red. The cupped flower form and strong fragrance harkens back to the striped
Gallicas but with the added benefit of repeat bloom. The shapely bush is great for landscaping. In hot humid climates
vigor is outstanding. At the Norfolk Botanical Gardens there is a row of Scentimental rose bushes that has formed a lush
wall of shrubbery literally covered with blooms all summer long. The blooms do open very quickly but this shouldn’t deter
you from growing it. Just cut the blooms when they are in tight bud, or better yet, leave them on the bush for a superb
landscape display. Scentimental is one of Rosebud’s favorite roses. Winter hardy to zone 6.
