La Sylphide

La Sylphide, Boyau ? Vibert ? 1842

Tea, Noisette 

Parentage unknown 

A stunning rose, highly praised when it came onto the market. As with almost 90% of the old roses La Sylphide went into obscurity in the 20th century but she has been revived and her availability is growing.

Large, flesh pink with yellowish shading, very double blooms borne mostly solitary. Strong fragrance. Perpetual blooming throughout summer and autumn. Height: 130 X 100 cm or 4X3 feet. Very disease resistant, zone 6b to 10b. Needs full sun, don't prune 

A gem from the past
