Rosa ‘Souvenir de Saint Anne's’
Description:
Historic bourbon rose discovered by Irish head gardener Andrew Campbell before 1916 as a natural sport of Souvenir de la Malmaison. Named after the St. Anne's estate near Dublin, it bears fragrant semi-double light pink blooms in repeated flushes on a vigorous shrub 1.5–2.15m tall. Although widely introduced in 1950, its origin predates this, making it an important Irish heritage rose.
