Le Havre (Eude, 1871) - Of fair average growth, with good foliage; not specially liable to mildew, but rain will impair its quality. A beautiful show Rose, one of the best examples of the imbricated form, but the blooms will not come of good shape or colour in bad weather. Almost like A. K. Williams at its best, but not often large. Like Fisher Holmes and some others, this Rose shuts up at night, the petals crinkling inwards: best as a maiden, not free in bloom or a good autumnal but with a high reputation for its lasting qualities on the plant as well as when cut.
