Madame Isaac Pereire blooming
Comments (8)That is a lovely photo of Mme Isaac Pereire. Thank-you for sharing it. I used to grow her in my garden in England. She got to about 8 feet, although I wouldn't have called her growth habit tidy. But when those blooms open, you forgive any drawback. She is so lush. My garden in England was about an 8 or 9 zone.

Comments (5)I grow both Maggie and Madame Isaac Perrier. Based on your photo and your description of the roses rebloom cycle, I believe that it is Maggie. It also appears to have loose petal formation which the Maggie I grow also has. The MIP has the more stuffed petal look if that makes any sense. MIP in my yard is also a deeper rose color. If you post a whole bush shot and perhaps a close up pic of the leaves it would be easier to know for sure. Hope that helps. Jeannie...See MoreDo I need to winterize my madame isaac pereire?
Comments (2)One of these years the mulch mound is going to really bite you. You'll have winterkill from canker near the ground that you wouldn't get if you just ignored the roses. If they are leafing out practically to the tips, they aren't getting any benefit from it. Just do nothing to hardy roses....See MoreMadame Isaac Pereire vs. Madame Ernest Calvat
Comments (12)Hi Eric, My MEC is not overly vigorous or overly cane hardy for me. From what I've read here over the years is that MIP is still quite vigorous in zone 6. Of course I still love my MEC, but she has never attained the growth that I anticipated. I love the foliage which retains a red coloration for a long time. I remember reading someone describing it as if some of the flower pigmentation of MIP had gone to leaves of MEC. I also love the kind of pink the flowers have, a raspberry pink. She of course smells great. She can get some black spot, but does not become defoliated sticks like a hybrid tea would at least for me. Here is a link that might be useful:...See Moreingrid_vc so.
