Ducher, France, 1871
'Mme De Tartas' x 'Mme Falcot'
Old tea rose, repeat flowering,
syn 'Mlle Marie van Houtte', 'The Gem'
Fragrant blooms start very early
in the rose season and keep on
blooming into our winter.
The blooms remind me of double fuchsias
A sprawling shrub, needs width
rather than height & is self supporting.

Loves sun & hates rain.
Dedicated to Mademoiselle Marie van Houtte of Ghent, Belgium.
