| A long time favorite for me ... Marie Pavie. Fragrant, ever-blooming, compact, thornless, healthy, superb plant shape. I really have no right to ask for anything more from Marie. Randy |

| It really has all those qualities, Randy, but in my dry garden the roses look worn out all too quickly and then there's all that deadheading. Nevertheless, I'm glad I have it because of its health and vigor, and it's a good contrast to the large early hybrid tea next to it. I really like the roses with smaller blooms because they give a more natural, wild look to the garden, and there's something very endearing about their small blooms. Ingrid |

| Ingrid, I agree with you about Marie's blooms not lasting long at all. Nice on the morning that they open though :-) Randy |

| I used to have many Marie Pavies in my old garden in South Mississippi, but I had to leave them behind. (sniff...sniff...) We rooted them all from a plant at my husband's grandparents' home in TN.It was started from a cutting by my husband's grandmother. She got it from a mother-in-law, I think. It smelled wonderful and was almost never without bloom. :) |
