Charles de Mills is a great rose. Lovely shades of purple, mauve. I love that this rose spreads on its own roots.

Remarkable unique Old Garden Rose that should be in every old rose collectors garden. Only 4 stars because it is a once bloomer – oh that it would bloom longer…

I have been looking for this rose never knew the name. I got this rose from my Mother it came from her Mother was born 1894 which passed along from her Mother, it is very fragrant, beautiful I have moved my rose from across From S. Georgia to Kentucky , Virginia, S.Carolina, Mississippi, back to S. Georgia very hardly every where I have lived. Did not buy from this Company but you cannot go wrong.

Like the others, I’ve loved this rose, but I have a warning. I left it to it’s own devices in a back part of my garden & It has suckered throughout a ten by ten area, that I now want to reutilize & I’m pulling the suckers out by the barrel full & still seeing new sprouts. If there’s any chance of this happening to you, keep Charles in a container, as I am now, or face his intensity for some time to come.

I love this rose also! I’m n NW Ga, zone 7-a/b. It’s about 2 yrs old, sprawling habit, lovely fragrance and beautiful blooms. I’m sure after year 3 that it will really take off!

This is one of my favorite roses. One of the earliest bloomers in my garden. It smells divine and in so beautiful when in full bloom. It does sucker but I only have my first one after 3 years.

It is an event when Charles de Mills blooms. Hardy in z4/5 and stands up to the hot sun. Very beautiful plant that I would recommend.
