A famous gallica rose, but in spite of the occasional nice picture I took of it, I must say that it is a bit disappointing to me. The plant is very unmannered, in bad weather it hangs across everything within reach and on top of that it suckers a lot. For me it doesn't give much flowers either and there's no scent. For me there are better old garden roses. Maybe it's better in a hot dry climate. Most of my gallica roses go floppy in my garden, which has very rich and moist clay. I hope my experience is not common.
