Overview

Fragrant Delight is a floribunda from Tysterman, introduced in 1978. The blooms come in an orange-pink blend and carry a strong scent, which is the main reason to grow it. Plants stay fairly compact, reaching about 1 m (3 ft) high and the same across, so it fits into a bed or the front-middle of a border without crowding neighbours. The RHS gave it the Award of Garden Merit in 1996. A good pick for anyone who wants colour and perfume from a modest-sized bush rose.
