Did you know
- Double Delight was bred by Swim and Ellis in 1977 and has won over 30 international awards.
- Its 'double delight' comes from two pleasures: the stunning bicolor blooms and intense spicy fragrance.
- The cream petals develop deeper red edges with more sun exposure, so no two blooms are identical.
- It won the All-America Rose Selections award in 1977 and was inducted into the Rose Hall of Fame in 1985.
- The fragrance has been described as a blend of spice and fruit, rated among the most fragrant modern roses.
