More information
Rose from the Mireille Collection.
During a visit to the nursery, Mireille selected this rose from among dozens bred by Jean-Pierre Ditierre in Val de Loire. The plant is a vigorous shrub that can also be trained as a small climbing rose. It shows good disease resistance and flowers freely, producing clusters of large blooms throughout the season. Rounded pink buds open to very large cream-coloured double flowers with a yellow centre that gradually fades. The blooms are long-lasting both on the plant and in the vase. Suitable for planting with other varieties in the Mireille Collection (Parfume de Mireille, Reve de Mireille, Chapeau de Mireille and Phil Rose).
