One of our favorite Gallicas, this rose has beautiful, very double, light-pink blossoms that have an intense fragrance. It blooms for 3 to 4 weeks in early summer. Gallicas we grow, with little cane dieback during the winter in northern Zone 4. An easy rose to grow with a long display of flowers in early summer. This rose was once used by Apothecarys in the middle ages for medicinal purposes.
Petals are great for potpourri or for making rose petal jelly.
It has healthy foliage and compact growth to about 3-feet tall and wide. Semi-double, very fragrant blossoms that are deep pink with white stripes. When this rose is in bloom, it is delightful we can t help but stop what we re doing and admire its beautiful blossoms. Has compact growth to about 3 feet tall. A sport of Rosa gallica officinalis.
