is amazing!

Rouge Royale or Jubilee Celebration?
Comments (4)Rouge Royale is a dark red rose, the color of dried blood in my central valley CA yard. I found the color most unattractive, and the foliage as well. It does have a heavy scent and lasts long in a vase. The color might be better where you are. Growth habit was very like a gallica, lots of canes growing straight up. JC I have not grown....See MoreI need info from Rouge Royale enablers!
Comments (0)I am looking at planting Rouge Royale but there seems to be very polarised views about this rose - it seems to do very badly for some (even some very experienced growers) and wonderfully for others. I am trying to figure out what this rose likes so I can choose the right spot for it in my garden. I need all your expertise please! If you can grow this rose can you please share information on your climate, soil, light, water, microclimate, and anything other special treatment you may give her to make her thrive. THANKS!...See MorePaul Bocuse and Rouge Royale
Comments (6)Thanks everyone for your kind comments! Vaporvac, they are not planted near one another. I have been keeping RR as a container rose. It is shaded under a pergola and gets morning sun and filtered afternoon sun. I have several buds on the bush now. PB is a year old hasn’t flowered much but grown 2-3ft straight up from band size. Jin, the fragrance of RR is like grapes + lychee. I don’t really detect much fragrance from PB....See MoreFragrance of Granada and Rouge Royale
Comments (13)P.S. here is a bouquet of Sonia Rykiel, because who among us doesn't want to see more roses right now? ;) I'm not pushing this rose (honestly!) because a lot of people find it not vigorous or not upright enough for their taste. For anyone thinking of growing this rose it does well in a large container for me, is somewhat weeping in habit, and is available on its own roots from Roses Unlimited....See More
