Honorine de Brabant
(Bourbon, unknown parentage, 1840) – cool pink spotted/striped with purple. Globular buds open into full cupped blooms
possess of a strong Damask fragrance with fruity top notes. In warm climate zones this unusual beauty takes up quite a
bit of space arching out to 6 feet or more. Disease resistance is about average for a Bourbon rose so you’ll need to spray
with fungicides to control black spot. Winter hardy to zone 5. Recommended by 11pnut.
