Sheila’s Perfume Rose

Last weekend, I purchased a new rose bush called Sheila’s Perfume from a local nursery.  The flowers are extremely fragrant, which surprised me because many of the most attractive roses I have seen do not have much of a fragrance.  I have heard that hybridizers focus more on looks than fragrance when developing new roses. 

I am also impressed by it’s multicolored pink, orange, and white patterns.  I have bought 3 new roses this year, but this one is my favorite right now.

    I had a Sheila’s Perfume a few yrs ago. It took me 3 yrs to find it. Well, our goats ate & killed it. We no longer have goats and I am having a problem finding another Sheila’s Perfume to replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only place I have found is in Oregon. I live in Tx. Thank you very much.

    I just purchased a Sheila’s Perfume rose bush yesterday at King’s Nursery in Santa Rosa, CA. I hope that helps.
