A Bourbon rose introduced by Mauget in 1834. We have double entered this rose as it is often referred to under the name ‘Bourbon Queen’. Semi-double pink and magenta flowers, well scented, long blooming period, it will grow tall but is best when kept pruned to shrub size. Much has been written about this lovely rose. Photographed at the Sangerhausen Rosarium in Germany by Bill Grant. |
