These roses grow were grown from cuttings in my neighbour's garden, they was were planted by her mother in the 1950's as "one rose that changed colour". The plants are identical except for the flowers. I thought they may have been 'Magna Charta' that had reverted to 'Mme Gabriel Luizet'. It grows about 2.5m tall and has an upright style of growth.The fragrance is very good and it repeats a bit but our summer climate is cool and damp so it is probably not growing at its best. I wonder what other members think?
yce Demits at Tanglewood Farms says Magna Charta has very large layered blooms of light crimson. The claim that it is the pink sport of 'Mme. Gabriel Luizet' is not supported by literature.
