Pernet Ducher 1893
Early Hybrid Tea
Unknown X Lady Mary Fitzwilliam
Once this rose was extremely popular as a good florist rose and strong fragrance but slowly she got out of fashion and was almost forgotten. Today, rose lovers want to know their rose heritage and inevitably they will come across Souvenir du président Carnot. She was a parent of one of the most important ramblers of the 20th century: Dr W. Van Fleet and so automatically also a Parent of Van Fleet's sport New Dawn.
The color is seashell pink with blush pink edges. The very high centered buds unfold in this perfect HT shape, the one we all love. They have a good strong fragrance.
Growth is bushy and not tall, let's say approx 90X70 cm or 3X3 feet. Zone 6b to 9b. The blooms are rain tolerant but demand full sun.
Very beautiful in borders, as a cut flower and in pots.
She can be found in good nurseries.
