Souvenir de Mme Leonie Viennot

Again a climbing Dijon Tea: Souvenir de Mme Leonie Viennot from Bernaix (1898)

Gloire de Dijon is a parent but the other parent is unknown

This rose is well loved all over the world in the right climate zones. It's a prolific bloomer all summer and autumn long and can grow up to 400 cm or 12 feet.

The flowers are large, cupped, very double and come in all possible shades of pink with yellow but the dominating color is pink. A fresh Tea fragrance adds to their beauty. 

Many people in California have been growing this rose from cuttings and not a single one has identical flowers as the parent plant and that's very rare and special. It makes this climbing Tea even more mysterious. 

Zone 6b to 10b, rain,heat and drought resistant en this time we can add shade as she does well in shady areas. 

Recommended rose
