Hard to find Old Garden rose: This Hybrid Perpetual rose was introduced in 1868 and features red-orange and sometimes bright red-pink blooms. Maurice LePelletier blooms in flushes throughout the growing season and has tightly packed 4” blooms set against bright green foliage with a strong scent. It is the perfect rose to add to a historical garden for beautiful fragrance. Expect Maurice to grow to about 4’ x 3’ and is a great choice for planting in groupings for a bright focal point.
