Marbrée Portland; Moreau, 1858Date Planted: July 2003 Source: Mail Order
This utterly charming rose is different from most other superficially similar roses in that the petals are spotted and splashed with a lighter shade of
pink. It is subtle and isn't really noticable until you get quite close to the blooms - you notice it when you approach to smell them. And smell them you will, for the fragrance is rich and delicious.
The plant is a tidy, compact grower that usually maxes out at about 4' tall. So far, the foliage has been very clean without spraying. This is a really cool rose. Click for enlarged images
