Roses that are off the Radar...less Popular
Comments (36)I had just embarked on the annual pruning cataclysm when I came to 'La France de '89' and realized that it's a poster-child for this thread. This is a splendid rose with a name which punishes the rose by being too clever (on the surface, it's supposed to recall revolutionary France of 1789; but of course a rosarian is "accidentally supposed to" understand that it's an 1889 rose which is as good as 'La France') such that one has the feeling that one is being hoodwinked. But NO! It's a rose which, though not like 'La France', is every bit as good; and I like it better. It's essentially a stiff climber with big, fragrant, shaggy rose-red flowers and beautiful lush foliage. The plant is sturdy, and vigorous in a well-behaved way. If this were named something like "Napoleon le Magnifique" or "Summertime Riches" or the like, it would be one of the popular dependables in the world of Old Roses. Seek it out! Grow it! Love it!...See MoreMost popular roses on HMF?

Comments (6)Jeri, that's a very likely ID, given that Fred Boutin is supposed to have thought "BSB" was a double 'GdR'. Gloire de Margottin was definitely a good rose for California, so I would expect a few plants to be lingering about. I think one reference described 'GdMargottin' as an improved 'GdRosomanes'.* Virginia *From Foster-Meillar's 1902, Book of the Rose: "Gloire de Margottin (Margottin, 1887). — This is a good deal like an improved form of Gloire de Rosomenes (Vibert), which is, I believe, the progenitor of General Jacqueminot. The growth is long and rambling and it does well for a pillar, or especially for being pegged down as a bedding Rose. It is exceedingly bright in colour, but thin in petal, and not very full: nevertheless the shape is good and pointed while it remains, and it is one of the brightest of all the true red Roses. It requires but little pruning."...See MoreArtist-FKA-Novice Zone 7B GA
