'Souvenir du Président Lincoln' rose Reviews & Comments

I have completely fallen in love with this rose. It is fairly vigorous, healthy and sporting 10+ buds in its first full season in the garden. The aroma is intoxicating, strong old rose.
I also have this rose planted right next to Mme. Isaac Pereire. The two are extremely similar, almost identical with only very slight differences. The color and bloom form are a perfect match. However, there are slight differences in the foliage and fragrance.

I just planted MIP for the fragrance and am hoping the color will be more violet. Is your SdPL still the same color or crimson red as described in other posts? Looking for purple tones with the strongest fragrance possible. Thanks in advance for any comments!

I have Souvenir du President Lincoln and Madame Isaac P. next to each other. S. Lincoln needs more sun to bloom, but healthier. Madame Issac P. has stronger scent. My S. Lincoln is medium-pink in my alkaline clay (no horse manure).

Do you prefer MIP's scent more? I'm glad to hear that SDPL can look more pink than red!

Yes, MIP scent is much stronger. I would rate S.d.P as medium scent. Sonia Rykiel can match MIP's scent, and Sonia Rykiel can give 4 flushes, versus only spring-flush for MIP.
