A year later, the rosebush thickens, it is still young, but there are quite a few flowers and this year the fragrance is definitely there! You can smell it when you walk by. So, it's probably a question of ripeness.

Description
The 'Fragrant Delight' Rose as its name suggests, is a true fragrant delight when in bloom, a rare quality for a cluster-flowered rose dating back to another era. It offers a profusion of bouquets where its semi-double roses with intense fragrance and warm and luminous colours, mixing salmon-copper, coral pink, and sulphur yellow at the heart, are crowded together. This bush with balanced branches, as tall as it is wide, is adorned with foliage that is resistant to diseases. Resilient against weather conditions, it is an excellent variety for the garden, definitely worth discovering!
The 'Fragrant Delight' Rose is an English creation by William E. Tysterman, dating back to 1978, resulting from 'Chanelle' and 'Whisky'. This variety, acclaimed in England, is quite difficult to find in the French horticultural market despite its value, recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society. In a few years, it forms a rounded and vigorous bush, with thorny stems ranging from 90 cm (35in) to 1 m (3ft) in all directions, highly branched, vigorous yet flexible, and covered with very healthy foliage, initially red and becoming shiny dark green in summer. Its flowering is abundant from June to September. Its wide corollas of 8 cm (3in) are semi-double, gathered in bouquets of 5 to 7 flowers with a slightly blurred pattern and undulated petals. The tightly closed buds open into round, flat, and fully open cups, and then produce roses with warm shades, combining different nuances of pink, salmon, soft orange, and copper, around a heart with yellow reflections. Their fragrance is very pronounced.
Floribunda roses allow for the creation of beautiful small hedges, planted mixed at the edge of the terrace or in small shrub beds. Associate them with abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for panicle phlox and tall gypsophila. The medium size and the resistance of 'Fragrant Delight' make it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones, and for growing in large pots. Its use is versatile, according to the desires of each gardener: in a rose bed, accompanied by white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny'), or mauve ones ('Blue Boy', 'Rhapsody in Blue', 'Roman Waltz'), or mixed with easy-to-grow perennials like perennial geraniums, small-flowered carnations, or asters. And its fragrant roses with a nostalgic charm are moving in bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant this floribunda rose from November to March, in ordinary, well-loosened and free-draining soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather heavy than light. In soil that is too sandy, too compact or too dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost, decomposed manure or leaf-mould at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose dreads waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny position, at most in partial shade. Roses are greedy plants, a specific rose fertiliser application will be beneficial when the foliage emerges, then regularly during the entire flowering period.
To encourage re-blooming, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems should be pruned to about a quarter of their length (4 to 6 buds from the base of the stem) at the end of winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud, so that the bush thickens and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the shrub.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
