Rosa 'Perfume Delight' is a pink hybrid tea (HT) rose cultivar, bred by Herbert Swim and O. L. Weeks, Weeks Rose Growers, in 1973.^[1] The rose was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 1974.

'Perfume Delight' is a bushy upright shrub, up to 4 ft (121 cm) in height with a 3 ft (91 cm) spread. Petals are typically 4-5 inches, with a high-centered, cupped form. Flowers open a deep rose and fade to pink. Blooms are rain resistant and have a strong, sweet fragrance. 'Perfume Delight' is a disease resistant plant, with large, glossy, leathery foliage. It thrives in USDA zone, 6 and warmer. The plant is almost continuously in bloom from spring through fall.^[2]

'Perfume Delight' tends to have more black spot disease issues than its HT peers and even its own hybridized cultivars.^[3]
