'La Fontaine' rose References
Book (2007) La Fontaine Floribunda, medium yellow, Mrs. Marie-Louise Meilland. Intro.: Conard-Pyle, 1961. Includes description.
Book (1963) Page(s) 17. Dr. A. S. Thomas. New Roses in Victoria La Fontaine Florib. (Meilland, 1961) 'Mme. Charles Sauvage' x 'Fashion'. Panicles of large, pointed, semi-double barium yellow florets with 20-25 petals. The outer petals fade but they do so attractively. Moderate perfume. Over four inches in diameter, the florets are too big for my liking in Floribundas, but it is nevertheless a fine garden rose.
