Barbra has become my 2nd favorite to Double Delight. It
has a nice color and great form. It is one of the most fragrant roses to come
along in a long time with a scent that will knock your socks off. The buds
open slowly and hold their exhibition form in a vase. All ladies who come to
my home during roses season go away with a cut rose. Unless Barbra
Streisand or Double Delight are not blooming those are what they carry home.
These two roses make a great case for beginning to grow roses.
Many do not like Barbra Streisand the rose because they don't
care for Barbra Streisand the person. I have no trouble separating the two as
the rose has it's own personality.
