| The Danish breeder Poulsen has done excellent work on smaller climbers and this one is his top one. Pirouette grows like a tall shrub. It throws up 6 foot basal canes with loads of flowers on them. Again no problems at all. |

| I would love to find one of these for my garden, something about being Danish and Danish bred roses. But I do not see a listing of any sellers. Do you know who will be carrying it? |

| I know that fragrance is important to gardeners, but keep in mind that the two weakest genes in the roses are the deep red and the fragrance one. Pirouette does have a "rose smell" but it isn't strong. So if you breed a beautiful deep, velvety red with a Damask fragrance, you will have a shrub that will cause you more problems then say a pink one. Papa Meilland is a good example. The old father desperately wanted to breed a top red rose and when he was dying, his son went into the fields to try and find any flower that would make his father think it was a good one. He picked a bloom from a sad looking shrub with lots of BS on it but had a perfect flower on it. He took it in and showed it to his father who got excited because he said it was perfect. What shall you call the rose he asked his son, and his son replied Papa Meilland. |
