This charming Floribunda Rose was bred by internationally famous USA rose breeder, Dr. Keith W. Zary, in 1999.
After trials around the world, Perfume Perfection was highly acclaimed, winning medals in Australia, USA, Japan and Italy. This success speaks volumes for its adaptability to climate and region. It received the highest honour in Australia, the first Gold Medal from the National Rose Trial Garden of Australia in 2001.
