This rose bush (origin 1928) or climber (origin 1933) is a very floriferous, remontant and vigorous variety.
Its warm, light buff-yellow blossoms lighten as they open.
Its buds are washed with carmine red.
Its sweet apple fragrance mixed with tea and red berries is very seductive on cool evenings.
Its olive-green foliage is fairly resistant to powdery mildew.
It does particularly well in hot climates, which can be a problem in Bois-des-Fossés…

This rose is dedicated to Mme Pierre S. Dupont of Longwood, USA, of the Admiral Coligny line.
Mme Alice Belin Dupont (1872-1944) was the wife of Mr Pierre-Samuel II Dupont ( 1870-1954 ), founder of Longwood Gardens.

This rose was awarded the Gold Medal in 1929 at Bagatelle.

It’s also worth recalling here that Pierre Samuel Du Pont, while living in this country house, indulged in his two “violons d’Ingres”, gardening and poetry: he designed and laid out a beautiful amphitheatric garden overlooking the Betz valley, and took advantage of this time of calm in a hectic political career to devote himself to farming and observing nature.
Inspired by the gentle Gâtin countryside, he wrote bucolic poems, including one inspired by the roses in his Bois-des-Fossés garden:
“The young girl is that lovable rose
Who, solitary in a laughing garden,
On her safe thorn rests,
Far from flocks, far from shepherds, no one dares
To lay an indiscreet hand upon it.
The gentle zephyr and the morning cry,
Wave and earth conspire to adorn her,
The tender lover desires her.
To adorn their head or bosom with it… “
