Belle Portuguese

Belle Portuguese, Cayeux 1903

Hybrid Gigantea 

Souvenir de Madame Léontine Viennot X R. Gigantea

The most magnificent Hybrid Gigantea in Europe. Extremely large ( 12 cm) double very light pink blooms with a strong fragrance. Blooms in full abundance in late spring. Very tall, almost rampant climber which can reach 12 meters or 36 feet. Very healthy foliage and little diseases. Zone 8b to 11b, for Southern Europe, the Southwest of the UK and the Southern states of the USA + California. Maybe we can grow this rose also in Western Europe in the future. Time will tell.
A magnificent climber!
