Bourbon Roses.
The plants lend themselves to a short H-shaped trellis where the long autumn canes may be arched to create an umbrella effect. Judicious pruning and monthly fertilizing will produce additional bloom. The plant must be well established before it will rebloom in the fall.
La Reine Victoria (1872) 
Tall and slender, the canes have narrow, smooth, large leaves. Strong stems support the blooms that are full, cupped, with a strong fragrance and a deep rose color in the center on a medium pink base. Blooms early.
