Gloire de Dijon. A famous old Climbing Rose, once found in many a cottage garden, where it was often known as 'Old Glory'. There can be few roses that have given more pleasure to more people since its introduction in 1853. It is said to have been a cross between a Tea Rose, the name of which is not known, and the old Bourbon 'Souvenir de la Malmaison', and indeed its general appearance would seem to support this. It has large, globular, buff-yellow flowers that flatten and become quartered later, taking on pink tints, particularly in hot weather. They have a strong, rich fragrance. There is no doubt this is a much hardier rose than the typical Noisette, probably due to the fact that it is in part Bourbon. It is truly recurrent-flowering. The foliage is thick and heavy, more like that of a Hybrid Tea. Unfortunately, however, it appears to have lost some of its vigour in recent years, probably due to generations of propagation on a large scale. It might be worth making a search for a robust old plant of 'Gloire de Dijon' and to build up a new stock from this. It is still very widely distributed throughout the country, and it is unlikely that the whole stock would decline at once. Bred by Jacotot (France). See page 295.
