Introduced in France by Guillot/Roseraies Pierre Guillot in 1995 as 'Sonia Rykiel'.

Large heads of exquisitely perfumed blooms which are ideal for picking.

The bush has an open habit and new canes are constantly produced. The flowers are best picked early in the morning and hold their perfume for many days.

Spectacular when planted in a cluster of three or more bushes – but can be planted individually.

Named in honour of the famous French fashion designer, Sonia Rykiel.

The long canes make this rose an ideal pillar rose.

Height: 2m Spread: 1.2m

We had to include this rose, with a name so nearly like our eldest's daughter's name Sonja.
If you're wondering why I'm taking photos of roses with my Lumix, its because I'm having
some software problems with both of the canon cameras, and my source Mr. Fixit is hard
to track down this time of year.
