This rose served medicine for centuries. Tinctures and rose vinegar, rose water and perfume were made from its flowers. It has fiery red, above-average-sized flowers above the foliage. When it is in full bloom, it is always an overwhelming sight. It smells pleasant and slightly peppery. Unfortunately, like so often, it had to give way to continuous-flowering roses and so disappeared from our gardens. Maybe someone will come up with the idea more often of planting it as a hedge to border the vegetable garden - that would really be an alternative to the otherwise so boring hedge plants.

Simple and beautiful
This 'Old Rose' has small, simple and yet exceptionally beautiful flowers, which are also loved by bees, which makes me doubly happy. A fragrant rose that has found its place between Ghislaine de Feligonde and Queen Elizabeth....
