Madame Abel Chatenay

Madame Abel Chatenay, Pernet Ducher 1895

Early Hybrid Tea 

Dr Grill X Victor Verdier 

A gem from the past this Madame Abel Chatenay. Exquisite light pink, typical Tea shaped flowers emerging all summer long. The flowers have a coppery yellow shine in full sun. They are moderately to strongly fragrant. Together with La France, Mme Caroline Testout and lady Mary Fitzwilliam Madame Abel Chatenay is regarded as one of the most beautiful light pink early HT's. 
100X100 cm or 3X3 feet, maybe a bit more. Health is very reasonable as is her rain resistance. She can however get some mildew but that's easily fixed with the milk treatment.
Zone 7b to 10b
A climbing sport is available which is also very beautiful but difficult to find.
