Blanche Moreau

We have had Moreau growing in our garden for 3 summers.
She forms an upright, much-branched, proper shrub of numerous thin, brownish shoots, which has decorative value even without flowers thanks to its dark green foliage, and now in winter without leaves as well.
By pruning she is limited to 1.20 cm.
She blooms pure white 1 to 2 weeks later than the other centifolias and moss roses, for 3 weeks in all with a few stragglers still; the 3-flower clusters do not all open at the same time.
Even before and after the flowering season it is fun to touch her; the resin of the moss rose smells good on the hands, somewhat heavier in fragrance than the ordinary Muscosa.
She is perhaps somewhat more prone to powdery mildew in great heat than other old roses, but by cutting back the "mildewy" tips after the flowering season we have managed even without spraying.
Fits well in the background or as a contrast next to a round bush.

Eine herrilche Rose!
Die Blüten duften sehr schön im Zusammenspiel mit der typischen harzigen Note einer Moosrose. Blanche Moreau wird nicht so groß wie andere historische Rosen, braucht also weniger Platz. Sie ist auch sehr pflegeleicht und robust, wie eigentlich alle historischen Rosen. Die weißen Blüten heben sich schön von dem ehr dunklen Laub ab und leuchten besonders dann geradezu wenn die Rose vor einem dunklen Hintergrund steht.
Sehr zu empfehlen!
