Jean Mermoz - Polianteia Rose

Criador: Cherault, France, 1937
Flowers: 2cm
Height: 50 cm

This wonderful Polianteia invokes the famous French aviator Jean Mermoz (1901-1936) pioneered of the " Generale Aeropostale Company " that made the air route between Toulouse, Casablanca and Dakar, and subsequently between France and South America.
In 1936, Mermoz disappeared at sea, over Senegal, on board the seaplane "La Croix du Sud.”
This Polianteia produces continuously full fragrant flowers, quite folded, of an intense mauvecolor that arise in dense clumps, until late autumn.
The leaves are very small, shiny and of a dark green.
Jean Mermoz had a great commercial success and still today this rose continues to be grown.
