Belle de Crecy
(Gallica-China Hybrid, 1829) – cool medium pink deepening to pure violet. The small passionate blooms are lovingly formed
with a green button eye. I’ve looked far and wide for fragrant Gallicas because as a group their perfume tends to be mild. In
this regard Belle de Crecy is a standout. Due to its China parent the fragrance is intense, an incredible mix of the classic
peppery Gallica scent and the sweet-pea China perfume. Growth habit is medium-short with "floppy" canes spreading outward.
Winter hardy to zone 4. Once blooming. Recommended by Soler NY.
