Can you possible providy a reference we could include to avoid further confusion. Unfortunately we do not have a reference to cite for the name Jesse so we can not say where the name was originally found but it is recorded as "Jesse Folette" somewhere.

Thank you very much for your assistance in setting the record straight. That's part of what HMF is all about.

Re Notes - Folette is the historically correct name.

Says who? Follette, with two l's is all I have ever seen.

Bill Grant wrote an article arguing that the correct name is Folette based on some research he did. My experience probably tracks your own: much of the information I've seen uses alternative spelling. However, the earliest source I found does spell the name as 'Folette.'

Hello Cass,
I have quickly skimmed right through Bill's article in the English 'The Rose', Vol 98, part 2, page 59 (2004) and he consistently uses the double ll spelling thoughout.
He was writing about correcting the name from 'La Follette' to 'Follette'.
Would you please check again as I am sure it is 'Follette' and not 'Folette'.
Thanks,
Patricia

I can't remember where I read his article, Patricia, but I'll take your word for it. The note was added by dear Mel, whose spelling earned him the nickname Kernel.

I've grown this rose for 30 years. It is hardy in my coastal California garden, sending out long canes every year. The bud is extraordinary - pointed and large - and then it opens to a blowsy large bloom. Mine does not have a strong fragrance, but it is an excellent cut flower. I have 'Belle of Portugal' also, but it is inferior to this gigantea rose because it keeps its petals until they are quite ugly whereas 'Follette' loses its petals much sooner. The new canes are quite red and filled with prickles. It is not easy to root cuttings but if you have patience you will succeed. It is one of the great climbers of the world!
