I grow her since this year in a big spacious pot before planting in the garden. I have many Teas with their arching, thin, slender shoots and dangling, nodding flowers. Catherine Mermet (bought from Loubert) has a different growth: Two strong upright shoots with a cluster of buds at the end. One flower opened and, although very beautiful, she looks more like a Hybrid Tea. She has too many petals and no fragrance whatsoever. Also the petals don't curl backwards, a typical Tea sign. I'm gonna wait for the other flowers to open to get a broader look but at this moment this rose doesn't remind me of the real Catherine Mermet. Leuven, Belgium
Hi, I think I posted the wrong rose under Catherine Mermet, but can not delete the photos. Can you advise on how I can remove the two photos under CM on my account? Thank you!
