Our rose expert’s reccomendation
Comte de Chambord
Old Rose
A most charming rose of true Old Rose character. Its light magenta, full-petalled flowers open flat and quartered. They have a strong and delicious Old Rose fragrance. It forms a strong, upright shrub with prickly stems and ample foliage - the leaves coming up to the flower in true Portland style. Moreau-Robert, 1860.
