    I chose 'Scepter'd Isle' for a similar location and it did very well for a number of years until I wanted a change, so that's the one I would recommend to you..

    Thank you @Marlorena! Scepter'd Isle it is then :)
  • I'm not sure how the banks would know details of your order - they only process the payment surely?

    They had to change the name to Pompon des Princes due to customers orders being blocked by their banks with connotations to Ispahan (strange world we live in) Nothing to do with new marketing but it’s showing up as new as the old product was deleted to change the name. 
    That is amazingly stupid and therefore all too credible.
  • Yes they agreed it was ridiculous.

    I'm not sure I buy what they've told you there.. it's sold everywhere else as 'Ispahan'.. Beales, Austin, Loubert, Ducher in France.. TCL.. and I expect most other parts of the world this rose is sold..   also the Iranian city is Isfahan.

    I've never heard of such a thing..

  • I assume it’s specific for the bank they use, but they were selling it under the other name for a while, banks can change safety regulations all the time.

    The idea of posting the labels was to tempt everyone.. >:)

    Yes the labels were a good touch @Marlorena

    Glorie de ducher is not very scented @Nollie Marlorena had posted some nice pics of that rose in HMF.. I am not sure which are strongly scented among the orders.. guess will find out in Summer..

    I tried to order Ispahan off them this year but it didn’t go through. I questioned them, it took them a while to find out, apparently the payments were being blocked because of name ‘Ispahan’, a place in Iran.


    The bank told you that?
