Potted roses are supplied in a 5.5 litre pot.

(Portlands) Richly fragrant blooms of warm pinkish-lilac open into sumptuous, full-petalled, flat rosettes that bloom with remarkable continuity from early summer well into autumn, rarely pausing for breath. The densely packed petals create an almost quartered effect, their heady scent filling the air with classic old rose perfume. Named for Henri, Comte de Chambord, the Bourbon pretender to the French throne, this rose carries an air of aristocratic refinement entirely befitting its heritage.
