Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Madame Desgaches’

Hybrid Perpetual.  The flowers are rose-coloured, of medium size, full and globular, its habit branching on a dwarf shrub.  Paul considered it to be a good rose: ‘This rose is of exquisite form; the petals too, are closely and beautifully disposed.’  [Paul 1848].
