A very popular rose that seems to love our climate... famous here for the
fence line of the Flemington Racecourse in Victoria, Australia and the race
called the "Melbourne Cup" when all of Australia comes to a standstill when the race is run.
I have it growing in 2 places, one on a tall stand where it can cascade down
showing off a multitude of sweetly scented blooms and another growing as a
sprawling shrub amid many other large shrubs. Bred in France and released
back in 1904.
