was divine for about 4 weeks each spring in the coveted eastern bed. the rest of the year was not so divine, with arching octopus arms and blackspotted foliage in the semi-shady spot. took up too much premium real estate, so was relegated to a back alley position. has suffered ever since, with not a bloom. i sometimes regret this decision and perhaps another move to the Old European bed is in order. 21012, death by drought
Une belle variété ancienne dont les origines se sont perdues. M. Jean-François Sarraud (Les Rosiers du Berry) a su préserver la rose de son enfance : un hybride vraisemblable entre une rose gallique et un hybride remontant offrant une abondante floraison printanière sur un arbuste vigoureux et sain ; de quoi ravir tous les jardiniers !
