'The rose looks fair, but fairer it we deem for
that sweet odour which doth in it live.'

-- William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

 
Crepe de Chine
The Crepe de Chine is the most striking rose in
my garden. The blooms are a 4 to 5 inch semi
double, brilliant red.



These make excellent cut roses. When fully open they are the
highlight of the room.


This plant did very well in its second year.
