Rohan Duchess-Hybrid Perpetual Rose

Creator: possibly Levêque, France, 1847
Flowers: 8 cm
Height: 1, 75 m


The origin of this rose is unknown and has long been discussed as a Centifolia, a Hybrid Perpetual or a Portland Rosebush,
There is no doubt that its foliage is very similar to those of centifolias but on the other hand, is slightly different, which is not typical in that rose category. The flat flowers with numerous petals very compartmentalized, are of a bright pink when they bloom and then remain with a very distinct tenuous pink. The rosebush is compact, but many times is susceptible to attacks by the black spots, but there are rarely substantial damage to consider.
