'Mme  Abel Chatenay,  Climber' Climber Bicolour pink    Remontant P3   H3  ** 
Fortunate are those with an old plant of this in their gardens, for I fear that nurseries have given up propagating it, due to loss of vigour. It is one of the most free and continuous blooming Climbers of the type, and the only way I can see you getting it, is to beg some cuttings and root them under mist. We described the famous Chatenay in the Hybrid Teas, and it is superb as a climber. When Walter Easlea introduced it in 1917, he said 'the flowers are often of superior quality to the original dwarf form' and that is perfectly true. The sport was apparently discovered by Courtney Page, Secretary of the National Rose Society at that time

David Ruston, South Australia. Roses of Distinction. 
The old climbing 'Mme Abel Chatenay' is still, I think the best pink climbing rose which never seems to stop flowering. The colour can only be described as "chatenay" pink and there is still no rose quite this shade.  So many climbing hybrid tea roses make a mass of climbing shoots each year, but I find the best are those like this one that keeps on blooming on the old wood after the spring flush, while still making sufficient climbing shoots for tying down the following year.

Les « climbings » tels que Hadley, Abel Chatenay, Golden Ophelia, Claudius Denoyel ont une vigueur réduite à côté de toutes les variétés ci-dessus ; ils ne sont intéressants qu'en collection, ou pour couvrir de toutes petites surfaces

Climbing Madame Abel Chatenay   (HT)  Fragrant. Habit 6. A good climbing sport of a variety which never palls. In the spring there are lots of lovely salmon-pink blooms on long stems, when colour is at its best.
