ALMOST WITHOUT THORNS! A timeless favorite among Old Garden Roses, Souvenir de La Malmaison produces lovely, cupped flowers about 4 inches across, with over 70 delicate petals in a soft, gentle pink that open flat and in quarters. Once it’s well established, this rose will delight gardeners by being nearly thornless, tolerant of heat, highly fragrant, and blooming continuously. Keep in mind that Souvenir de La Malmaison prefers to avoid excessive rain and heavy pruning.
