Rose Grand Dame

 

Grande Dame - Hybrid Tea Rose
(Color: Rose Pink w/hint of blue tones)

A glorious modern rose with a glorious old rose fragrance.  It has the advantages of natural vigor, abundant flowers and exceptional disease resistance, while still retaining the romance of old rose style and fragrance. The fully double rose-pink blossoms display a hint of blue tones, no doubt provided by their impeccable Meredith x Wild Blue Yonder parentage. Each bloom invites you to bury your nose in its depths and inhale its rich 'old rose' fragrance. The big, shrub- like bushes are filled with abundant deep green leaves. Low-thorned stems carry the nodding clusters of old-fashioned, full flowers that provide a perfect touch to a landscape or bouquet.
