Gallica, seedling of Belle Amour
A wonderful rose this Belle de terre Franche. She was found by Ivan Louette in his garden in Belgium next to Belle Amour Gallica roses.
This Gallica is like if she's on steroids! Very large, quartered crème white with a Sulphur yellow shine or flesh pink shine. Often the flowers are just cream. Very strong fragrance. The flowers are so big we can speak of a good cut flower. The shrub is very vigorous and can reach 200 X 150 cm or 6X5 feet. To make her bushy it is advised to prune her directly after flowering already the first three years
Incredibly Hardy with zone 2b to 9b. Mildew and Blackspot resistant.
For old rose lovers this is the crème de la crème
