    Bourbons: Beautiful, fragrant, repeat blooming roses, the Bourbons require a little more care
    than the once blooming O.G.R.s. Good cultivation and well amended soil are essential for good
    repeat bloom. They can be prone to black spot and will need at least an organic fungicide to keep
    them presentable later in the season. That said, they are beautiful, soulful, if somewhat high
    maintenance plants and well worth the effort.

    'Coup de Hebe'  Laffy 1840  Profusion of globular rose-pink flowers of exquisite fragrance
    cover this taller, arching plant. Blooms for a long time in rose season with some scattered
    flowers in fall. Good for pillar or shorter climber. Healthy.

    'Louise Odier' Margottin 1851 Very large, full, cupped flowers of warm pink with lilac
    shading. Very strong old rose fragrance. Repeats well. 5’ x 4’ as bush, 8’ as climber

    Hybrid Perpetuals Large flowered, re-blooming hybrids originating in the nineteenth century.
    Expect wonderful bloom in rose season and a good flush in the fall. Hybrid Perpetuals require
    good care and feeding including protection from blackspot and mildew, particularly in wet year.
    They will reward you well.

    ‘Baron de Bonstetten’  Liabaud 1871  This large flowered, deep rich crimson fragrant
    rose was once commonly found in Pennsylvania-German gardens in Lehigh
    and Lancaster Counties. Medium sized arching plant. Some re-bloom.

    ‘General Jacqueminot’  Roussel 1853  Deep crimson-red blooms with a paler reverse.
    To about 5'. Mrs. Bell calls the perfume “never to be forgotten.” Customers sometimes
    ask which rose from their childhood smells of pepper. This is it! Some re bloom.

    ‘Frau Karl Drushki’  Lambert 1901 Large, pure white flowers with high centers,
    buds brushed pink. Some fragrance. Good repeat bloom in autumn. 5'  Hips.
    We saw very old plants of this in Mrs Sunday's yard in Schuylkill Haven. Good cut.

    ‘Reine des Violettes’  Miler-Malet 1860 The “Queen of the Violets” bears dark,
    soft, grape-colored flowers which fade to softer violet. Flowers are flat, quartered &
    petal-filled. Wonderful rose fragrance with peppery undertones. About 5' x 5'. Good
    re-bloom in autumn.
               

    Polyanthas: Lower growing, compact plants with small flowers in clusters. Good for edging,
    hedging. Useful in tubs and large pots. The soft colors of our selections here are beautiful with
    herbs, lending color and size to the herb garden.

    'Marie Pavie': Alegatiere 1888  Surely the queen of the polyanthas, Marie has beautifully
    formed, double, blush-white, fragrant flowers in flushes throughout the summer.
    Compact and mannerly. A real treasure. Zone 5 hardy

    'Pearl d’ Or'   Rambaux 1884  Deep yellow-orange in bud, flowers open to a creamy
    salmon-yellow. Quick to re-bloom and very fragrant. Zone 6 hardy. Compact  3' x 3'

    ‘The Fairy'  Bentall Eng. 1952  Spreading, healthy bush bearing a profusion of small
    bright pink flowers in large clusters. Glossy leaves betray its Wichurana heritage.
    The Fairy is a perfect herb garden plant. Short on fragrance, but long on re-bloom
    and health. This was among Bertha Reppert’s favorites. The clusters of flowers
    dry nicely for wreaths. Couldn't you use a little fairy in your garden? 2 x 4
