Rosa 'Zéphirine Drouhin'
Overview
The Bourbon Rose (Rosa 'Zéphirine Drouhin') is a beautiful and vigorous climber with arching stems, deep green foliage, and fragrant pink and white blooms. It is an old, heirloom plant, believed to be the result of a cross between two Gallica roses first developed in 1830. Its large blossoms, up to 3 inches in diameter, are cupped and filled with petals up to 25 in number, in shades of pink and white. With its strong, sweet scent, the Bourbon Rose is ideal in a garden, along a trellis, or in a container on a patio or balcony. It's a must for any rose lover!
