p179 Illustration

p180 ‘Danse du Feu’ (‘Spectacular’) came into the world to great acclaim and may be taken as an example of what I mean. It is a tremdously profuse bloomer, repeats later on, and the flowers when they first come out are a magnificent fiery-red. But for how long? A few days at most and they lose their glow and become faded and muddy-looking, with a reluctance to shed their dead petals after rain.

p144 ‘Danse du Feu’. Climber. Scarlet. Remontant. Perfume 1 Hips 3. [both on an ascending scale of merit from 1-10] Recommendation Three stars. The double flowers grow close together, almost too close, and are produced as generously in autumn as in summer. The colour is on the orange side of scarlet, very effective but not vivid. It has to be balanced against the health and remarkable freedom of this variety that it finishes life somewhat atrociously purple. A moderate grower, with abundant foliage. Raised by Charles Mallerin from ‘Paul’s Scarlet Climber’ x seeding of R. multiflora, and introduced in France in 1953. J. & P. brought it out in the United States in 1956 as ‘Spectacular’.

p160 'Paul's Scarlet Climber'.......until ‘Danse du Feu' provided a similar colour in autumn as well as summer.
