More about Bourbon roses:
A chance cross between Old Blush China and the Autumn Damask led to the first of the Bourbon Roses. This occurred in 1817 on the Ile de Bourbon an island in the Indian ocean. Later it was hybridised further with Gallica and Damask roses. Most varieties are blessed with a good fragrance, recurrent flowering and refined foliage.
Commandant Beaurepaire has cupped blooms of rose pink streaked with purple-violet and white. Light green foliage with long pointed leaves. It’s repeat flowering, hardy, with a good fragrance – a beautiful variety.
Pruning Guide: Prune in February/ March, once established, by reducing stems by no more than one third.
