(Floribundas (cluster roses)) Clusters of large, fully double blooms in the softest blush pink open loosely to reveal beautiful lilac anthers at their heart — a detail of rare and captivating charm. Deliciously fragrant, this rose repeat-flowers with generous continuity from late spring through to autumn, making it a treasured choice for cutting. It honours the French lyricist Louis Amade, beloved collaborator of Gilbert Bécaud and close friend of Charles Trenet.
