I hope this rose will find it's way into the garden of many a rose lover. It would be a lovely informal border subject. It will blossom through Winter in a mild climates.

The Fragrance is rich and especially long lasting, beautiful large blue green foliage and very few prickles making it useful for the front of a bed.

I believe the pollen parent to be 'MME. Lauriol de Barny'.

'Fur Elise' might be classified as a Bourbon.

Blossoms are phototropic. Petals blush darker when exposed to sunlight. Blossoms produced on relatively short laterals.

This is a very pleasant rose. I hope more will take it up. The foliage is beautiful and the fragrance really is fantastic. I love the way the sun affects the color of the blossoms.
