Creator: Laffay, France, 1834Origin: possibly “Sempervirens Rose” x “a Noisette Rose”
Flowers: 3cm
Height: 5 m
This rose is very difficult to classify: for some it is a hybrid of "R. Multiflora ", for others it results from a happy crossing between" R. Sempervirens "and a rose Noisette.
I opt for this last one. But regardless of their genealogy, the truth is that this rose has a unique charm especially during its prolonged flowering. The tiny flowers in perfect pompons, appear in clusters, with a mix of pink and white, very attractive. The bright green foliage is exceptional.
It is unclear who the person who wanted to honor Laffay was, but it may possible to have been a relative of Marshal of the Louis Empire - Nicolas Davout (1770-1823).
