A modern shrub, a rugosa hybrid with long pointed buds opening to an almost flat
large fragrant bloom. This one is new in my rose garden and I haven't taken many
photos yet. It is a large shrub and a good subject for a big hedge. The
name translates as "Beauty of Poitou" the region where the French raiser had his nursery.
Dating from 1894. My intention was to replace "Maxima" who unfortunately
recently died.
