My local garden center had a huge fall clearance sale in October 2009 that included 50% off roses. Like I could resist that. I went on the first day of the sale at opening and two hours later came home with four roses. Enchanted Evening was not one of those, though. I missed it that day. However, I went back the second day looking for a specific David Austin rose that I'd seen and done research on (which was gone) and spotted a very healthy-looking plant. I hadn't heard of Enchanted Evening, but I looked it up in the catalog, saw it was supposed to be a strongly scented lavender floribunda... and finally chose it over Ebb Tide (a deeper purple floribunda). There weren't any flowers open, but I decided to give it a shot. Hopefully it will work well.
