I have been growing this rose for 8 years now. I'm surprised that it says here that Salet only has an "Occasional repeat later in the season". In my garden in Belgium, it flowers a minimum of three times (planted facing south). I've read other comments that say the same thing. Salet is a repeat rose, not an ocasional repeat rose. You should change that.

In my garden in Zone 7b, Salet has its main flush in May/June and occasional blooms in August resp. October. The photos posted on HMF show a similar bloom repeat.

I have just published my photos of Salet in 2024, zone 8a, 4 blooms : 2 beautiful flushes and 2 other occasional blooms.

I asked Ralph Moore why he never used this one. He said he never cared for it.

It is the healthiest, and all-around best OGR here.

It surprised me too. Later in life he did use "Gabrielle Noyelle'. Go figure.

Gabriel looks like a nice rose. I guess the yellow blush I noticed helped be unpink. Also good to know it passes down repeat.

I live in zone 6, ten miles north of Boston on the ocean (in a small city). I have grown Salet in a shaded area for four years now and have never seen any winter dieback - no damage to the canes at all, not even at the very tips. I strongly suspect this rose is hardy north of zone 6, probably by more than one zone.
