Ich habe die American Beauty seit 7 Jahren in meinem Garten und sie gehört eindeutig zu meinen Lieblingen! Der Duft ist unglaublich stark und sehr würzig, traumhaft nach alten Rosen. Sie blüht immer 2 mal, manchmal 3 mal und bis auf den üblichen Sternrußtau ist sie auch sehr robust. Die Farbe ist ein Traum von pink und insbesondere die erste Blüte kan von der Blütenform her gar nicht perfekter sein. Ein Muß für jeden Duftliebhaber wunderschöner Blüten!
