We don't know which we prefer—Double Delight's appearance or its enticing spicy fragrance. The AARS judges apparently didn't either, awarding this hybrid tea high honors in 1977. It has never looked back from this glory, continuing to wow gardeners with its perfect form, profuse fragrance, and great garden performance.
A striking bicolor with urn-shaped buds that open to creamy white flowers brushed with deep red, Double Delight boasts long, sturdy stems that keep it looking its best over a long vase life. In the garden, the rich red color refuses to fade, even in punishing heat. And the vigorous shrub offers glossy medium green foliage and good branching. 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, it's compact enough for a container, showy enough for a flowering hedge or accent planting.
This rose performs best in medium-moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained loam in full sun. Make sure the plant has good air circulation, as this promotes vigorous and healthy growth and helps prevent disease. A layer of mulch during the summer months helps to retain moisture, keep roots cool, and discourage the growth of weeds.
It should be pruned in the spring, with the removal of old canes and dead wood. Cut back canes that cross each other. Gardeners in warmer climates will want to cut the remaining canes by one-third, while those in colder climates will probably need to trim it a bit more.

Customer Reviews
They came well packed and already put in big pots to grow them out. Recommend.
It was never mentioned this would be a product shipped from China. It took a month to receive the shipment. Plants coming from overseas are supposed to have a certificate or be inspected by Customs and Border Protection, but on the shipping label, they claim this is a 'household item' so it bypassed the inspection.
Bare root plants are not allowed to have soil attached when coming into the country but this one is soaked in some pinky soil. To avoid bringing in foreign diseases, I have to discard this junk.
The plant is very small, about 25% of the normal bare-root roses you will get in a local US nursery. Even if I keep it, it may take at least 3 years to grow to the size that you will normally get from a local US nursery.
Have just potted the rose because it is to cold to plant outside now. It arrived packaged just fine and has tiny spurts of new growth. I am pleased. Jayme
