The
Name of the Rose - Named after a
1920s French-Canadian teacher (1899-1930).
Although
classified as a miniature, this is a vigorous rose which can be used
several different ways. It can be grown as a large shrub (4 x 5) or
trained as a climber to 8 feet. I have also heard that is does well in
hanging baskets. I am growing mine on a tripod which it easily covered
in one year. Subsequent growth, however, has been slow and blooms have
not been as profuse as I expected. The soft pink classically shaped
roses appear in early spring and throughout the summer.
