Jim, Will be curious to know if you can smell the rose fragrance when they
bloom this spring.

   I'll likely remember to give it a sniff, and try to remember
to report back.
Have those who have grown it noticed any difference in
fragrance strength as ambient temperature varies (more
on a sunny 'warm' day vs. cold) or morning vs. evening ?

OK, I remembered both to sniff and report. It's the last
of mine to flower, and is still around. It _does_ have a
distinct, pleasant fragrance, to my nose it does also
sniff like a rose. I got independent reports from two
persons of the female persuasion, who both say it has a fresh,
citrusy aroma, but nothing like a rose. What can I say...
Also, time of day seems not to matter; morning, noon or
night the fragrance is there. All in all, a nice thing.
