In praise of Mme Gregoire...

My once-flowering Mme Gregoire Staechelin is now in its fourth year and in my Australian garden has been flowering profusely for 3 weeks. All my other HT's and Austin roses are just about ready to bloom but this lady has brought me great joy in late October. In many ways this Dot-bred rose is almost flawless. She has a beautiful sweet pea perfume beautiful translucent mid-pink petals veined on the reverse in deep pink and healthy leaves which set off her enormous blooms perfectly. Another week and she'll be starting to fade. I'm really proud of this lovely climber.
