Comments: An Older rose but a goodie!!! As you can see this rose has a very unusual looking bloom form. Almost a cup on a saucer effect. Named for Alain Meilland's daughter.Some say that this is the biggest selling florist greenhouse rose of all time, with over 40 million bushes sold. It is one of the few that successfully has made the transition into being a great garden rose. One of the top all time money makers for the house of Meilland. A good one for sure. |
