Louie Odier

My precious bare root roses are a year old.  One rose has had to move twice and is just now getting established, The climber is still trying to get a firm footing in the soil, but the third, the Louise Odier, has grown quickly and is already in bloom.

A year later, the Louise Odier is doing quite nicely.  It was sold as  a “Fragrant” rose, which I have yet to notice (smell).  Close up, with my nose in the bloom it smells very sweet and excellent.  But from a distance of 3 feet, only a light fragrance is detected.  Maybe in the coming years, will we smell anything strong.
