Do you have Forsythia there?

Not to my knowledge although some specialist growers may have it.


Yes, it smells good all right!
Oh, man, I could just eat them up.

I smelt a definite hint of Double Delight in the fragrance. Looked up
helpmefind.com, and hey presto! Granada is a parent of Double Delight.
To my memory the Double Delight is stronger but it's an amazing scent
nonetheless.


Add Rio Samba to the list. I think I need Voodoo, don't you? Black
Velvet is a floribunda? Or not?

You DEFINITELY need Voodoo, you will swoon over it. 6' tall and not a
single spore of black spot or mildew this year. Incredible blooms.
Great fragrance. I won't rave on.

No luck finding Rio Samba in Aus yet but I'll keep the eyes peeled.

Black Velvet is an HT I discussed here some months ago. Google would
bring it up, but basically it's a black red velvet HT bred by Morey (US)
in 1960. No longer on sale in the US though. It's very disease
resistant although the blooms are a little small and not strongly enough
scented to earn a long term place in my garden.
