| Congratulations on your choice: she's a keeper. ML actually looks like a Gallica to me: unthorny, rather drooping habit, darkish foliage, lush cool pink blooms: nothing of the Damask disorderly habit, thorniness, and lettuce-green soft leaves. I've had mine for about a decade, and the only thing that I don't like about it is that I've never been able to get my grafted plant to get off its rootstock and begin suckering around, and it doesn't make new growth readily.

| Mine suckers broadly. I'm always cutting suckers out from the base of other roses. I agree with Melissa about the Gallica influence. I love the very fragrant spring blooms. It grows in a little thicket of canes here 4 X 4. |
