This is the Traviata rose. This is another one of the roses that I have gotten from my “Texas Garden Fairies” friend Dita.

This is another rose that was started by cutting I got from a friend. It is a cluster-flowered floribunda bush about 3′ tall. It has a large flush of blooms in the spring and fall with a few blooms in between. It has a light spicy scent.
