I just recently purchased these two hybrid tea roses and was just
looking for some feedback from anyone who has had any experience with
them. Thanks.

I've grown Perfume Delight. Big, fragrant rich medium pink blooms with
beautiful classic rose form; slow opening, long lasting bloom; medium tall
plant, fairly healthy.
Unfortunately, it was a sparse bloomer for me. I'm considering buying it
again just for the great smell.

Theo, I have a cheapie Tiffany (started out handicapped, with short
roots) and I love the bloom. Good thick petals that hold up, pretty
pretty yellow at the base of the petals that lights up the rose, color
is buttermint pastel pink, know what I mean? I never smell a scent,
but I still like this rose a lot and I usually do not like pink roses.
Form is really good. Makes a good cutting rose.

Try the above site for a great picture of the Tiffany Rose. It is just an
outstanding rose, fragrant, easy to grow, one that I will always have a place
for. (Maybe the one you have is not a Tiff.!)
The Double Delight is well named for it is truly Doubly Delightful!

Did you know that Tiffany and Double Delight are in the same family tree?
The genealogy is:

1954 Charlotte Armstrong x Girona = Tiffany
1963 Tiffany x Cavalcade = Granada
1977 Granada x Garden Party = Double Delight

Girona, a Spanish-bred rose, is the source of the 'damask' fragrance
present in Tiffany, Granada and Double Delight. Garden Party has Peace
as a parent, which may help explain the luxurious bloom form.

I love this whole 'line'.

I wonder what Charlotte Armstrong is like. Anyone? Maybe I should find
one somewhere and plant a family reunion!

Great photo!!

No, it is, it is just a poor example--one of those $4 bagged roses
with the sawed-off roots from WalMart, so it had a bad start, now with
all the rain it has fungus problems. I would like to get a good bare
root of this rose. I really like the blooms.

I have both Tiffany and Charlotte Armstrong. Charlotte is a deep
fuschia pink, with the same touch of yellow at the base of the petals.
The blooms are full and the petals are ruffled, it's very pretty,
and smells GREAT. Now that I know they're related, I'm going to have
to go home and compare how they smell. They are both very fragrant
in my garden!
