Anna C. Roosevelt (verified owner) –
Madame Calvat is my best rose and the only Bourbon that survived in my Chicago garden. I’ve had mine more than 10 years. It is now a tall, very healthy, multi-caned shrub. It maintains fat (more than 1 inch diameter), apple-green canes all winter and shrugs off the attempts by rabbits to strip the bark. The rose blooms continuingly from Spring through early Fall, putting out roses all along its long, arched canes. The roses are fat and full, silvery pink and highly fragrant. They hold on well and keep coming even when I cannot dead-head promptly. I keep the petals for potpourri. A wonderful rose.
