This is an extremely vigorous heirloom rose, discovered in the United States at the end of the 19th century as a sport of the beloved small French shrub rose, ‘Cécile Brünner.’ Often found rambling in old cemeteries and homesites, it is extremely vigorous, relatively easy to care for, and produces beautiful, fragrant little flowers that look like perfectly miniature hybrid tea roses. It’s also Paula’s favorite! Like all roses in Central Texas, be prepared to provide lots of morning sun, protection from afternoon sun in the summer, drip irrigation (no sprinklers near those leaves, please!), and regular acidic fertilizer and deadheading.
