Yes, it's the fragrance that drew me to it. A neighbor has a deep red, very fragrant rose, don't know what it is, the planter no longer lives there, and I've tried to find something similar.

Will look for another container for this one, I think. Haven't seen any whiskey barrels around, and I understand when available, they're very expensive, but who knows?
