'Melody Parfumee,' also known as 'Melody Parfume,' 'Melody Perfume,' and 'Zulu Royal,' is a hybrid tea rose of no little distinction. In 1995 it won both the Bagatelle Gold Medal in Paris and the Baden-Baden Fragrance Prize in Germany. The scent is frequently described as "antique rose" and "French spice." Plum-colored, pointed buds open into rich lavender flowers 4-5 inches wide, then take on a silvery cast. The plant grows to 4 1/2 feet tall. Flowers are borne on 15-inch stems.
