Where to plant. As a specimen in a prominent spot, in an old-fashioned rose garden, at the back of a mixed border; striking and also good as a cut rose for large bouquets. Highlight: huge globular flowers — among the largest of all roses; at its peak the bush looks like a peony garden.
Care. Likes rich soil and feeding; thin flower stems should be supported, and in harsh winters the plant should be covered. Watch the foliage in wet summers.
Name. Named after Paul Neyron, a young medical student; in Ukraine it is called "Pol Neron". Origin: bred by Antoine Levet in France, 1869. One of the most free-flowering Hybrid Perpetuals; still valued by collectors of old garden roses today. Photo: Wikimedia Commons
