Baroness Rothschild

Baroness Rothschild was created by Jean Pernet in 1870 and is regarded as one of the very best Hybrid Perpetuals. Very soft powdery pink double blooms appear all summer long. They are cupped and stand on good strong stems. There is a mild to medium fragrance but opinions vary on its fragrance. It makes a beautiful neat shrub, nicely rounded 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet, sometimes a bit higher. Repeats very well if you keep deadheading. Foliage is rather light green and healthy. She's no weak rose, au contraire ! Zone 5b to 9b. Makes an ideal cut flower which holds for days indoor. A beautiful aristocrat in your garden!
