KBW Neptune is one of the finest hybrid tea with strong fragrance.i,l post some of its pictures if u wish.mostly lavenders & pinks have strong fragrance.

Umar bhai, I fully agree. Wonderful fragrance, nice shape, Neptune is no doubt a fine rose. I regret having missed it that day in Changa Nursery, along with Burgundy Iceberg. I purchased quite a few roses that day and despite the fact that I had selected both these roses, me and Changa sb both forgot to include them finally. Now, it is perhaps too late to plant roses. And it would not be fair to take a chance in this weather.... it would be like torturing a plant which I won't like.

78. Oklahoma

Name: Oklahoma Rose
Type: Hybrid tea
Color: Dark Red
Bloom Size: 5' x4'
Bloom Type: Fully double
Fragrance: Extremely Fragrant
The color is so dark red that it is nearly black velvet in warm weather. Long pointed buds open into huge, fully double 5" blooms (petals 30+) that are extremely fragrant with wonderfully strong, sweet old rose perfume. The bushy continual blooming plant is covered with leathery, dark green foliage. A vigorous grower. Makes a good cut flower.

Mustanser Gold medal is one of favorite yellows along Frresia.Its coppery yellow tone is very unique among yellow shades.

Love the yellow tones of Gold Medal. A must have in the house I believe.
