More information
Felicite et Perpetue is a widely grown Sempervirens hybrid. Flowers open soft pink from crimson buds, then shift to cream and finally pure white. They are densely double, forming neat rosettes with a button eye at the centre. Blooms are carried in large, loose trusses, usually 20–40 per truss, set against very dark, small, disease-resistant evergreen foliage. With age, blooms turn brown and dry on the plant. The plant forms a large, dense, well-lined, pleated rose with large thorns. Without support the bush sprawls; shoots are readily trained over arches and other supports.
This cultivar has many synonyms, including multiple orthographic variations of Felicite et Perpetue. It is among the most common Rosa sempervirens hybrids. Flowers measure 3.5–4 cm in diameter, globular at first, then opening into small flat rosettes with a mass of tiny petals around a central button. They start delicate pink, quickly fading to cream and then white, with a strong musky fragrance. It blooms late, in large trusses, very profusely. The petals do not drop; they remain on the plant, withering into brown clumps.
