The Grande Dame is a lovely and very fragrant hybrid tea.
Here’s what Weeks Roses has to say about this 2011 release…
“Everything old is new again … or is it the other way around?
Here’s a clean mean flowering machine whose big bountiful beauties reek with old rose romance, style & fragrance. Each lovely blossom invites you to bury your nose…to swoon from the perfume of the ‘old time’ roses of your dreams. A big vigorous ‘shrubby’ bush whose nodding clusters, abundant deep-green leaves & low-thorned cutting stems provide a perfect touch to a landscape or bouquet.”
This is my 3rd year to grow the Grande Dame and she always gets noticed.
This rose is a modern bloomer with old world charm and mixing old and new is what my garden is all about!
So, what do you think of her?
nice, is she hardy for ohio? or do you have to protect the tops?
Ahh, the Grande Dame..I LOVE this Hybrid Tea. Does very well in my Zone 7B garden.
Yours are so beautiful and loaded with blossoms!!
