"E. Turbat & Cie ", located near the town of Orleans, was one of the largest companies that used to sell plants and gardening articles in Europe, in the first half of the nineteenth century. The production and sale of roses was just one part of their business. Still Turbat was able to commercialized, in a single year, about 500,000 roses, especially poliantas and climbing roses. He also introduced in the market 35 new "Ramblers", most of which cease to be cultivated throughout the years.
Only nine have been preserved in Sangenhausen rose garden, and among them lays the beautiful "Ghislaine Feligonde " that two years ago I had the great pleasure to plant in my garden. Can be grown as a large shrub and repeats its flowering in autumn. The flowers open apricot color with reflections of yellow, peach, pink and white, are fragrant and appear in groups of ten. The plant has few thorns and produces very attractive red berries after flowering.
Ghislaine was a unique woman who managed to rescue, her husband, the Earl of Feligonde, from the battlefield at night and at great risk, who had been seriously injured during an attack. Upon hearing this story, Turbat decided to honor his heroine.
