Hybrid Perpetual Roses.
The Duc de Rohan Rose has been popular with French rosarians for a number of years. The variety was originated and introduced by Lévêque & Sons, the famous Rose-growers of Ivry, France. Like most of the French introductions, this Rose possesses distinctive characteristics, the most marked being the color of the flower, which is a decidedly rich shade of vermilion- a color that attracts attention from the moment the calyx opens enough to show the petals. The flowers are large, averaging 3 to 4 inches in diameter, well-formed and perfectly double, with a delicate fragrance that is peculiarly charming. The plant is of semi-dwarf habit, but produces strong, sturdy shoots that bear the flowers on stiff, straight stems. In every way it is a Rose of merit and deserves a place in either a large or small collection.
