Rosa ‘Louise Peyronny’
Hybrid Perpetual. Silvery-rose, satin-like petals, shaded with lilac, globular, large and full in form. A robust grower. [Paul (1863, 1888), Henry Curtis p.19 vol.2/1853, FC p.61/1855].
Horticultural & Botanical History
Rivers says of it: ‘Our old friend La Reine is still, in dry seasons, the most beautiful and fragrant; but her daughter, Louise Peyronny, is still more so, for, owing to this charming rose not being quite so double, it opens well in all seasons.’ [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863)]. Louis van Houtte included this rose in an Énumération des plus belles variétiés et….des autres! in the Flore des Serres. [FS pgs.91-102 vol.15/1864].
