I would say it is fragrant most of the time, with a medium tea-like scent. It would never beat Double Delight, Mr. Lincoln or some of the Austins on fragrance, but it is definitely there. A rather unusual color is its strongest point though.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-60839272871799384662012-06-30T04:27:01.808-07:002012-06-30T04:27:01.808-07:00I have been marvelling at your pictures of roses f...I have been marvelling at your pictures of roses for a few months now. Your talent as photographer seems equalled only by your skills as a gardener! I think I might order Cynthia Brooke, but first I'd like to ask you something about its fragrance. You mention the scent is strong, but in a later post (April 2012) you found it is not as strong as you expected: has it changed from one year to Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-50766953721822478942012-04-16T13:42:17.882-07:002012-04-16T13:42:17.882-07:00Love them all, especially the Hermann Lindecke, Et...Love them all, especially the Hermann Lindecke, Etoile de Feu & Cynthia Brooke roses.

They're all lovely, but Hermann Lindecke caught my attention with his similarity to Le Vesuve and the added plus of fragrance. But Cynthia Brook is my favorite.

However, i don't see that kind in our neighborhood before. Rose scent in a garden is really unique and evokes a wonderful awesome feeling.
