This grandiflora's blooms have outer petals of a pale shade of lavender, pale enough to resemble lavender-washed silver, and a darker lavender center. They are carried in large clusters at the top of the canes. The canes are strong enough to hold these bouquets erect, but this can be a drawback for the short gardener. The rose is at least 7 feet tall in my garden, so I'm rarely able to smell the spicy citrus fragrance of the blooms.

Every single plant of this I have purchased (all grafted) all reverted back to Dr. Huey. Will try it again in 2015 by ordering one from Palatine. Love this rose. Good vase life, smells wonderful.

Lagerfeld grew very tall for me here in my side yard garden. I would prune it way down to less than 18 inches each spring, which is what I do for all of my roses. By the end of the spring flush, it would be tall again, over 6 feet tall usually. The blooms were really pretty, but they ended up way up in the air. I am not very tall, so I don't want my roses to bloom way up in the air. I ended up digging Lagerfeld up and giving it away.
