| Has anyone grown this lovely yellow hybrid tea from 1929? I'd love to hear all about its fragrance, flower form and durability, growth habits and disease issues. I know that rose was a fairly famous cultivar in its time, and I'm very curious about it. Rogue Valley Roses has it in stock...and also another French hybrid tea from Mallerin called "Beaut�". WHat a lovely color it is! Maybe someone has grown that one also? |

| Dupont resisted throwing new basal growths years ago in the older beds at The Huntington. It flowered OK, with fairly sparse foliage and thick, old wood. I don't remember much fragrance from it but do remember the flowers blowing pretty quickly. Beaute also blew very quickly in my Newhall garden. It was pretty and when you could catch it in cooler weather so you'd actually get to SEE a fresh bloom, it was gorgeous. It had some fragrance, but it wasn't very strong. Diseases weren't that great an issue in that garden, and I didn't spray, so they didn't have that issue to contend with. I collected and grew as many Pernetiana types as possible because in those years, only Vintage offered them, and only sporadically. I always felt as though they were the real endangered types, and most can be spectacular...in the right climates. Kim |

| I grew Beaute for 1 year. Then in 2010 we had an early harsh freeze. 6 degrees for 5 days in November. It was budded and did not survive. Since our winters can be radically different as to onset and since spring refreezes can be numerous, I would only consider own root. For the short time that I had it the blooms were numerous and th fragrance was mild. There was something elusive about the blooms and I would grow it again. Jeannie |

| I am growing the climbing version. It has been vigorous and has a nice rebloom. I don't remember much of a scent. |
