"Portland from Glendora"
Found rose

Widely believed to be the portland rose 'Joasine Hanet' bred in France (before 1882) by Jean-Pierre Vibert, 'Portland from Glendora' (or 'Glendora' for short) is an exception rose in every respect.

Applause is due this exceptional performer, both floriferous and shapely as a garden plant. This, Reine des Violettes and Sydonie make a trio of roses very similar; all large shrubs, clothed to the ground in foliage, covered with perfectly formed flowers in small clusters. Glendora is rich rose-pink with purplish shades.

In its third year, my plant is about 5' tall. Vigor is exceptional, and the foliage remains quite healthy without spraying. The plant is rarely without blooms, and the fragrance is marvelous. This really is an outstanding rose.
