One in a million, Poulsen 2012
Poulsen's Renaissance collection Was the Danish answer to the growing popularity of very fragrant roses. We all know the fabulous Claire or Ghita Renaissance but in the meantime Poulsen has expanded his Renaissance collection with several stunning varieties. They all share the same richly fragrant blooms.
This time I wanna introduce you to Capricia Renaissance or One in a million as she is called in the UK. It is a deep red floribunda with a vigorous growth, great health and an extreme old rose fragrance. The flowers aren't old fashioned but are typical floribunda blooms as we knew them not that long ago. They are very double, stand in clusters and exude a strong powerful fragrance. It's a vigorous grower and can reach 150 X 90 cm or 5 X 3 feet. With a little effort she becomes a climber and in some catalogs she's effectively sold as a climber. When she blooms she's covered in red, a striking sight and ideal for creating that splash of color where you want it. Red, healthy roses aren't easy to create and if it's true what I've been told than David Austin is going to stop selling his red roses all together and they are starting from scratch to create new red roses which are disease resistant and can cope with climate change.
Capricia is healthy and very rain tolerant. Full hot sun can damage the blooms a little bit but nothing serious. Reblooming as the best this rose will ensure that you have red fragrant blooms all summer and autumn long.
Ideal for pots, beds, hedge, tree rose and as a small climber
