More information
Ghislaine de Feligonde is a multiflora rambler with vigorous growth, disease resistance, and repeat bloom. It can be trained as a 3–4 m pleached rose or maintained as a 2 m bush. Buds are bright orange; flower color is variable: in heat the blooms are pale apricot and quickly fade to white, while in cool weather and in autumn they are more pink and fade less. Flowering occurs in long waves with intervals of several weeks. Trusses are long and large, carrying 6–12 per truss in summer and about twice that in autumn. The bush has very few spines. Foliage is bright green and large.
This rose can be grown plaited or as a large shrub. Flowers open apricot with a yellow base from orange buds, then fade to peach, pink, and white. Color and intensity vary from year to year. Blooming is prolonged, with a later flush in autumn, when the flowers are more pink. Blooms appear in long, upright trusses of about 10. There are few spines. Shows winter hardiness exceeding that of many multiflora hybrids. Reaches 4 m on a support; as a bush it reaches 2 m.
Buds are apricot-yellow, globular. Flowers are yellowish-white with a flesh tint, fading to white, cup-shaped, open, medium-sized (3–5 cm), double (30–45 petals), scentless, in inflorescences of 5–30 on slender, flexible pedicels. Leaves are bright green, narrow, leathery. Spines are very sparse, hook-shaped. Shrubs 1–2 m tall, spreading, irregular. Blooms abundantly; remontant. Winter-hardy. Slightly affected by powdery mildew. Suitable for vertical landscaping and groups.
