Mme. Abel Chatenay. Large-flowered. Every rose-lover has some great favorite from childhood. Mine is ‘Mme. Abel Chatenay’ which I vividly remember growing in my mother’s garden in Hobart in the early 1930’s. The foliage is bronze and its flowers are a delight, in their blend of soft pinks that rose-lovers called ‘Chatenay-pink’. Raised by Joseph Pernet-Ducher in 1897, it became a great favourite with the greenhouse growers, and just before World War 1, it was estimated that two out of three roses sold in British flowers shops were ‘Chatenay’. Its only fault is that the bushes are short lived.

Peter Beales:  Madame Abel Chatenay - This is a very famous old Tea rose - although I don't think any one is quite sure whether it's a Tea or a Hybrid Tea - but it's a lovely rose and is still available.  Again, it's not the easiest rose to grow, but well worth the effort.

Wanted: Mme. Abel Chatenay. Anne Wilson, Blenheim, Daly St., Carcoar, NSW 2791, wants budwood of Mme. Abel Chatenay – “not the modern short budded variety which the nurseries stock but the old one with an upright growth and long flower bud”. (It would appear there are two different varieties here, one of which is masquerading under the wrong name. Please contact Anne direct if you can help. Ed.)
