Eugène Boerner probably was the greatest rose creator of the United States. He created so many good floribundas that his nickname was Papa Floribunda. And how can we forget the famous Aloha rose which gave us so many great offspring.
Chic is one of those wonderful floribundas he created and it's a bit forgotten today but it deserves renewed attention. It's a rather low, short rose of 80X80 cm or 3X3 feet. It's almost made for pots. It's blooms are my favorite color: Starting coral pink but evolving into this magnificent apricot peachy pink. Their shape is so pretty, perfect HT like and they stand in small clusters. A good strong fragrance is present. It's almost a small Aloha!
Reblooming is top notch and also health is anno 2023 good. Zone 6b to 9b
Eugene's creations deserves renewed attention overall.
