Date Planted: June 2001 Globose flowers of a warm pink, nodding and graceful on an elegant shrub. Long a favorite Tea rose, a buttonhole tradition with Teddy Roosevelt, and still found perhaps more than any other Tea rose in old gardens and cemetaries. Outstanding fragrance. This has been a strong grower and a prolific bloomer so far. The fragrance is delicious! Both Duchess de Brabant and her white sport, Mme. Joseph Schwartz (pictured together, below) are healthy, dependable roses in my garden. They take a while to build up into substantial plants, so give them at least three years before passing judgement.
