Souvenir de la Malmaison
Bourbon
1843
This rose seems to never be out of bloom! The first year it was planted, it didn't grow very big because it was blooming so much. The fragrance is quite memorable: a pure old-fashioned rose scent. The blooms are light pink and very double and make an excellent cut flower. It seems to take our heat well, too. The plant will stay around 3' or so.
