Bloom:
Light pink. Flowers pink flushed lilac. Strong fragrance. Medium, very full (41+ petals), in large clusters, globular, old-fashioned bloom form. Spring or summer flush with scattered later bloom. Mossed buds.
Habit:
Small, medium green foliage. Height of 5' to 6' (150 to 185 cm).
Growing:
USDA zone 6b through 9b (default). Very vigorous. Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Notes:
The correct French name is 'Rosier à longs pédoncules'.
