I am resurecting this post from spring 2011, because I posted on it about my search for Symphony. Talk about rose lust, Symphony has been at the top of my wish list for a decade at least. And now my search is over. Rogue Valley Roses has been shipping to Canada for several years and they list this rose. But they have never stocked it over the past two years, til now. They restocked it a week or two ago. Yesterday I ordered two plants for April delivery. Now as long as the shipping and the border go well, Symphony will appear in my Canadian garden next year. When I first joined the forum about a decade ago, someone used to post the tag line "Happy, happy rose dance" or HHRD when they acquired rare treasures that made them happy. I do believe that this is an occasion to resurect the concept of HHRD, I'm doing the HHRD now and will certainly be doing another when these plants arrive in spring. Symphony will join my collection of lemon coloured roses that whiten at the edges, a colour pattern I adore. The others in the collection are: Kronprincesse Mary Castle, (link in my post below),The Pilgrim and Golden Arctic. Cheers, Rick Here is a link that might be useful: Allux Symphony @ Rogers Roses

I have Crocus Rose. I think it is its 4th year now. It really had a bunch of flowers this year. It has taken at least 3 years to get going. This rose is mostly a cream color with some yellow in it. Mine is right about 4 ft in height and about 3.5 ft wide. It needs spraying attention regularly because it will blackspot badly if you ignore it. The foliage on mine is rather small in spite of its diet. The flowers are not as big as I would like, but they do smell good despite not being strongly scented, and they do have some lasting power. This rose was one of the few in my garden that was as good as untouched by the horrendous Easter freeze we had last year. It just seemed to pick itself up and get going. It bloomed reasonably well last year and has gotten off to a better start this year. At first I thought it might be a tossable, but since it is now doing better I will keep this one. It now outblooms some of my other roses.

This was the first Austin I ever saw and assumed they all grew the same. Was I surprised when I planted Abraham Darby. I love your pictures of Symphony! It truly is a great yellow rose.

Hi all, I was trying to find som reviews on Bravada symphony and found this thread. Our new symphony floors were installed by contractor about 3 months ago and was covered with Ram boards. The construction has finally ended and after the complete cleaning I’m first time seeing the floors in real. I’ve always had engineered wood floors but this one to my surprise has so many dents and rips. I wanted to ask here did anyone else have the same issue ? I’m wondering if it’s quality control issue or crew that was working inside did this much damage. Attached are some pictures
