Seedling of Émile Courtier, this very famous and acclaimed old rose. This rose produces many rather slender upright branches each year. They can reach 250 cm. Light green foliage which is quite disease resistant. Idéal to Pegg down, obelisk, fence, trellis etc. The more horizontally you train them the more flowers you'll get.

Her blooms are simply exquisite: Link pink quartered rosettes with a delicious fruity, candy fragrance. Just like Mme Isaac Pereire she's a flagship of the Bourbon family. Reblooms again in August or September with even more beautiful flowers.

Your garden isn't finished without this nostalgic, romantic variety. Highly recommended
