Because these OGRs have been good ones in my PNW garden, I sent budwood to Palatine. So I thought I would do a little arm bending. Duchesse the Montebello makes a very tidy plus attractive specimen bush. If you only have room for one OGR, she is a good one.

No no no, we need this rose so don't have a second thought about promoting it. Thanks for sharing precious budwood.

A heartbreaker of a rose, with a romantic name to boot. Beautiful foliage also.

That is a lovely rose which I would love to grow. I tried to promote some Tantau roses to Palatine (they already sell a few), but I don't think they were budging on these--legalities, I guess. Diane

I can only speak for my garden, but although I liked the Tantau roses, they were hit and miss in my garden. Perhaps because my soil was sandy, they required richer. Palatine is mainly, the Canadian outlet for the Kordes roses

I photograph Duchesse de Montebello in every rose garden that I find it in. It's always one that draws me to it. I finally have learned to recognize it, partly due to the wonderful flowers but also because it has always been a healthy, floriferous, large shrub everywhere I've seen it, from San Jose to New York to Europe. Seems to have a wide range of locations where it does well. The only drawback is that it's a once-bloomer, but what a beauty.

If it weren't a once-bloomer, I'd run right out and get me one and find some place to plant it, though I might have to spade something else to make room. That is a breath-takingly beautiful rose.

It's one of my favorites. What a lovely photo of it! Once-blooming isn't a big issue for me as it blooms before the Japanese beetles and humidity/mosquitoes take over the garden. This one is very healthy and has a wonderful fragrance in addition to its beautiful flowers.

Beautiful! How does this rose compare to Belle Isis (which I just recently planted)?

I'm always happy to have another rose to add to my wish list. I hope others share their experiences too, with this rose. It's nice to know that it does so well in so many areas.

I'm curious to know about your decision to send budwood to Palatine. Did they ask or did you offer? Did you offer the budwood to other rose nurseries as well? I hope I am not steering the thread off-track, maybe it's a good subject for a new thread. I was only wondering. :)

Anyhow, what about your Duchesse? How long has she grown in your garden? When did you plant her?

I noticed that jedmar on helpmefind mentioned that most Small Maiden's Blush in commerce are actually this rose?

Are these roses good on both sides of Washington State?

Belle Isis does look similar, but Belle's flowers are smaller and have a softer look to them. The bush has thinner canes which makes it bend with the weight of the blooms. The shade of pink in Belle Isis tends to be a little on the peach side before fading to a softer pink than the Duchesse. The scent is also different in that it is myrrh.

Thanks Lynnette! Now I remember that I selected Belle Isis on account of the unique fragrance.

Before I downsized last year, I grew nearly 1000 different roses in my garden from species, OGRs, modern shrubs to Kordes hybrid teas.I have known the owners of Palatine since they came to Canada. So when I moved, I sent budwood cuttings of all the rare and unusual roses plus the OGRs that are hard to get in Canada. I only send to Palatine because their background in growing roses as well as their knowledge is extensive from Europe. As Jedmar has said, some nurseries do not know the difference but Palatine does.
I am also very interested in the new line of Kordes roses which are being bred to be disease free and was testing some. Now lets see how many roses I can stuff into half an acre!!

Really lovely pictures! I love everything about it- delicate pink coloring, sweet scent, and the sturdy canes and attractive healthy foliage..I wouldn't be without it!
