We had Perfume Delight (bought it at Harry & David’s/Jackson & Perkins) when we lived in Oregon, and loved it.
H&D’s was about 25 miles from us at the time, and the 2 shared a campus...then they got bought out & split up. :-(
Not long after that, we sold & came to South Dakota. Most of the J&P iris we brought here have died out, except for some very hardy types.
As for roses, we have some huge, decades old, yellow Pioneer Roses, and lots of small, indigenous, wild roses; some white, but mostly pinks & reds.
Some roses do better in certain climates over others.
I wanted a Princess Diana rose for my garden - I’m able to grow beautiful roses in California - but that one never performed - it produced very few flowers and never grew much even though I pampered it as I do my other roses.
I finally figured it was developed for a wet English climate and not the dry California climate I live in. A gopher finally got it and I wasn’t sorry to see it go.
My Queen Elizabeth rose, however, does beautifully - so much so I planted two. My relatives in Santa Barbara love that one too.
