Souvenir de la Malmaison


Her synonym says it all-one of the most beautiful of all roses.
Her fragrance is refined-like an expensive perfume.
This rose comes in two forms-the bush and a climber.
The climber is a sport of the bush form and was introduced by
Charles Bennett in 1893.
I have grown both forms.
In Perth the bush form bloomed with equal repeat to any Hybrid Tea.
I grow the climber here in Melbourne and repeat is good.
A very favourite rose.
