If you are looking for a
fragrant rose besides the old standby, Grande Dame is your answer. Grande Dame is considered a Hybrid Tea rose
with the old fashioned form and an old garden rose fragrance. The bloom is quite large, 5 to 6 inches
across with over 30-petal count and its color of deep rose-pink has a hint of
blue tone provided by its Wild Blue Yonder parentage. The scent of its bloom invites you to bury
your nose in it and inhale its old garden rose fragrance which is quite strong
reminding you of Grandma’s Garden.
Grande Dame grows into a big shrub about 4 to 5 ½ feet in height with
few thorns. The foliage is deep green
and very disease resistant. Grande Dame blooms
in flushes all through the season, giving plenty of blooms to enjoy its
fragrance inside your home and in the garden as well as a great addition to
your landscape.
Grande Dame is one rose
to have in your garden – it’s vigorous, disease resistant, great color, plenty
of beautiful blooms and very fragrant.
So what are you waiting for?
Grande Dame is a 2011
introduction and was hybridized by Tom Carruth.
