Bérenger
$27.95
Moss or Gallica (Jean Laffay, France, before 1833)
Well here’s one for the adventurous gardener. Our great friend Gail from Sterling, CO (who is responsible for many of our old garden rose additions) promises me this rose is an old moss called Bérenger. My mountains of research books are inconclusive but I like the rose a lot and Gail’s never steered me wrong, so we’ll go for it. At any rate, I’d love to hear your experiences. Please click HERE to contact us with feedback.
Pronounced: bay-ra(n)-gehr – from French Rose Names by Diana Bellucci

I was more than pleasantly surprised from the first bloom on this rose! It was absolutely stunning.
I should have given the plant more room, as it wants to sprawl, or perhaps some support is in order.
But the blooms when at their best are captivating, both in beauty and fragrance.
Absolutely recommend if you love moss roses!

Planted in SE Montana in a protected corner on the west side of the house, this moss rose has grown to 3 feet in 3 years, blooming almost every year- she’s hardy! Just make sure she’s alone, as she sends out shoots and has many spikes, making weed pulling hazardous- no rabbits will go near, that’s saying something! Absolutely love her blooms, so old fashioned 🩷

First year for Berenger here, planted early summer so I can’t comment on the blooms
Yet. However, it has put out a lot of growth this year.
This rose has lovely healthy foliage and seems happy in full sun.

Bérenger has been growing since planted last year. Some Old Garden Roses need a year or two-year-old wood to produce blooms upon. Knowing this, I tried to make it produce basal breaks, laterals, and mostly focus on growing last year. Our Winter temperatures got quite low at times, and I never covered it, or high piled any straw or soil about it. It not only survived harsh Winter but is covered in mossy buds that are fattening up. I have a love of Old Garden Roses, such as Hybrid Perpetuals, Chinas, Albas, Damasks, but my favourite has to be the Moss . . . both types: those that do not repeat bloom coming from Centifolias and those that do repeat bloom coming from Damask-Perpetual lineage. Moss roses offer a fragrance about the foliage that I do not find upon any other type. The leaflets and stems are fragrant with the same fragrance the mossy buds are that are touched. Sometimes balsam, or apple, or the like. This particular variety I have never tried before but patiently waited for Spring to wake it up to commence producing buds. I am sure the fragrance is ethereal and ineffably beautiful. It is very cold hardy. I am genuinely pleased with the hardiness, colour, foliage, thick moss, and the thorns that accompany these Moss roses! Give one of these Old Garden Roses a chance to bloom for you, providing you have space enough for it. The fragrance of the blooms and foliage are truly worth it!
