A sport of the rose Souvenir de la Malmaison discovered on a property belonging to Lady Ardilaun
near Dublin, then preserved for many years by Lady Moore of Rathfarnham. Fewer petals so it
lasts better in a rainy climate and grows a lot taller. Mine is planted next to the parent
Souvenir de la Malmaison and dwarfs its neighbour. Both roses are fragrant. Dating from 1950.
St. Anne's is one of the first to begin flowering in early spring and has a very long
flowering season.
