More information
This variety is common in the USA but is rarely encountered in Europe; it is a low, free-flowering rose suited to small gardens. The flowers display a bright cherry color with purple and pink tones. The reverse sides of the petals are much lighter, and a white “sweat” sometimes forms at the center. The petals are wavy and notched, sometimes with a button eye in the center. Blooms appear in slightly drooping clusters, typically surrounded by a corrugated collar of foliage, as in Portland roses. The shrub is low, sturdy, compact, and upright, with very prickly shoots. The foliage is dark green with crimson edges. Flowering is almost continuous. Rust, powdery mildew, and black spot can be issues.
Eugene de Beauharnais is a member of the Chinese rose class. This small rose is completely disease-resistant; the bush stays low, about 80 cm, well-branched and upright, with thick, prickly shoots. New shoots continually emerge from the base. The flowers vary in color, most often a mix of deep purple, crimson, and red, often with white streaks in the center. The fragrance is very strong and distinctive.
