Pernet Ducher 1900
Early Hybrid Tea
Parents: Unknown
Just like her sister, Antoine Rivoire, Prince de Bulgarie was extremely popular between 1900 and 1930.
Light pink with darker salmon pink shading in the center. Big, double, high centered buds opening into high centered cupped blooms evolving into flat saucers. Good fragrance. Nice little shrub with a rounded shape. Can get 120cm or 4 feet. Zone 6b to 10b. Blooms freely all summer long. Has developed some susceptibility to Blackspot but nothing serious.
Her popularity can be seen on paintings, cigarette boxes etc from that period. It still is a beautiful rose which deserves a renewed attention just like her sister Antoine Rivoire.
