description for "Antiques: Rosa 'Madame Isaac Pereire'"
Antique Bourbon 'Madam Isaac Pereire' rose has been described as "luscious, sumptuous, almost blousy beauty". Named after the wife of a French banker, 'Madame Isaac Pereire' has fat, cabbage-like flowers with perhaps the strongest deep rose perfume extant. To see and smell a full-blown bush on an early April morning is a heady experience. A smaller but even more lovely fall display and scattered roses throughout the summer are extra rewards that come as the plant gets established. 'Mme. Isaac Pereire' makes a handsome shrub specimen for pegging. Shows excellent disease resistance, making gardening success even easier.
