'Pierette' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Royall River Roses says this rose has very fragrant, large, semi-double blooms of deep magenta pink in small clusters repeating readily throughout the season. Plentiful hips attract wildlife...
The Royal National Rose Society is making this rose available to its members in Spring 1999. They describe it as a shrub with large, semi-double flowers that are sweetly scented. A very attractive display of hips is produced in the autumn. It was awarded a Trial Ground Certificate in the RNRS International Rose Trials but has, so far, not been available in the UK. Please contact the RNRS for more information -- contact information for the RNRS is listed under "Organizations".

Is it possible this is the same rose as Pierette?
