Mme Coaroline Testout has been "on the market" for 113 years. As you can see, she is long-lived and extremely free-flowering, and she has a velvety, bright pink colour that is still impressive even after 113 years, which is why she is still popular today.
The rose got its name from a then very well-regarded dressmaker. When she opened her shop, she wished to link her name with the elegance, the colour and the fragrance of a beautiful rose.
I have read that the city administration of Portland has planted only this rose in the city's parks, gardens and avenues - so far 3 million roses of this variety.

Habe die Mme Caroline Testout vor zwei Jahren hier gekauft. Leider ist sie jedes Jahr von Rosenrost befallen, trotz der kalten Winter, trägt kaum Blüten und sieht sehr mickrig aus...
Kann ich nicht empfehlen. Werde sie jetz ausmachen und verschenken - vielleicht kommt sie dann wieder...

Ich hatte die Rose erst in einem großen Topf. Sie mickerte! Nur wenige Blüten. Dann habe ich sie in den Garten an einen guten Standort gepflanzt. Leider mickert sie weiter! Ich kann sie nicht empfehlen.

With this rose you have to practise patience! And add good soil, fertilise, horse manure, rose fertiliser, loosen the soil, always check for pests and vole attacks, rock dust, peat soil... so in the third year it now gets large pink blooms, the plant is only half a metre tall and the big, heavy blooms hang down - but that will come with patience and care!
