'Baby Faurax' cannot be bred by Léonard Lille, as he died in 1913 at the age of 82. Candidates for the breeder are his son Louis Lille, or the latter's son-in-law Joseph Faurax-Lille, who married Jeanne Lille in 1917 and took over the Léonard Lille grain business by 1921. The rose 'Mme Faurax-Lille' would have been dedicated to Jean Lille, the roses 'Elisabeth Faurax' and 'Louis Faurax' probably to children of the pair. 'Baby Faurax' would have been either Elisabeth or Louis.

Die Welt rose has been developed by Kordes to celebrate world peace . As a bush , it is championing top health , top resistance , top leaf , top color , top form , top number of blooms . In our garden it shares its amount of sun together with its neighbours Osmanthus burkwoodii and a fence of chestnust . To get within reach of the sunrays it had to grow to +1m , endure blasting heat , drought , heavy rain , and destroying chickens . Thick canes , little prickles , beautiful big blooms with a heavenly scent of peaches , apples and other fruit . This rose should for any reason stay on the market . If you come across it , invite it home . Regret it took so long to come into your life .

I thought it was named for a German magazine rather than a world peace celebration.

Actually, "Die Welt" is a German newspaper, first issued April 2, 1946 by the British military occupation. It was sold 1952 to Axel Springer and still exists.

it is a roselover's duty to not letting the rose with the same name extinguish . And as i replied to your predecessor , i might have been mistaken , or may i say , misled :o+

Bought this rose about two and half months ago, a young grafted plant just budding. It's been a slow starter, and rather shy of flower until now, it just produced two flowers. They're a medium yellow, loosely double and nice looking. The scent was given as "strong" and it was the main reason I bought it, but in the first flower, it was just medium at best, and similar to tea... nothing special. After several weeks and after having produced some good foliage, the second flower started similar, then got slightly stronger in smell... Then the wind strongly shook the plant right while I was there, and it broke the branch, so I was forced to put it in a vase... where the scent soon developed, getting much stronger and much more interesting. It developed a moderate myrrh note, a rather intense citrusy note, and a quite faint but yet noticeable old rose base, which definitely made it much much better. After three days, it's still there and can't stop smelling it. A surprisingly delicious scent. I wonder if it's frequent that newly planted rose can give a few almost scentless flowers, and then after a while, new flowers start giving off much different and stronger fragrance. Or rather, I wonder if some roses are known for smelling much stronger and much better as cut flowers. Very curious to see the next flowers it will give.

Hardiness zone 9 . 'Château de Cheverny' DELjaupar rosier is one champion . Leaf as wel as flower is exquisite , hardily any diseases , heavenly peachy smell sparkled with fresh citrus . Its lemony yellow flowers with lighter edge grow 'ball-dly' ;o) through the season from June into late fall as long as temperatures are not under 16°C . Next to a gravel path now , the rosier will be relocated elsewhere in the garden . As too much of a pebble spilled beneath the path , we will be putting used bricks along the sides after which short rosiers s.a. 'Happy chappy' and 'Coco' will come in line . Garden is south orientated , with mainly south and south-west winds , many fruit trees and the more . 'Château de Cheverny' is an excellent alternative to e.g. AUSowlish .
