How to grow
Where to plant. In a romantic mixed border, an old-style rose garden, a large container; it looks lovely beside white and apricot roses. Highlight: the changing palette of the petals — from amber-yellow to flesh pink — and a powerful rose-and-anise fragrance.
Care. Undemanding, with the good health of modern Générosas; removing spent flowers regularly keeps the flushes coming.
