This rose appears to be identical to what is sold as 'Madame Antoine Mari' in the United States.

perhaps not as mme antoine mari is showing a more clean appearance. it seems there being two roses around under the name of 'mme camille', one displaying the often described muddy mushroom hue on a primarily creamy ground, another being highly salmon coloured in the manner of 'princesse étienne de croÿ/ketten frères 1898'. maybe there has occured a mixup in the past.

blossoms of mme.camille can have a "dirty" look when rosy shades are flushing the creamy ground creating a pasty skin color effect.

Quite possibly one of the loveliest and most exquisite roses I have ever known. In appearance, it is wonderfully delicate and refined, but this is no weak, shrinking violet. Instead, 'Madame Antoine Mari' is robust, extremely healthy and a never-ending bloom factory. The new growth is a gorgeous plum-purple color and the overall growth habit is well-foliated, symmetrical and elegant. A hedge of this variety would be incredibly beautiful. This makes a delightful cut flower and it is *strongly* fragrant of classic tea rose to my nose. I don't know why so many references insist that this rose is only "delicately" scented. This is also the perfect tea rose to grow in a large pot. Her creamy, swirled pink blooms can break your heart!

Anonymous, I am interested in your comment about the fragrance. Which kind of climate do you live in? I don't have this rose, and the only thing that's keeping me from buying it is its supposedly light fragrance. If your rose smells gorgeous in your climate, and your climate happens to be similar to mine, then I will give it a go! I am in SE England, so my climate is cool and on the wet side. I know, it is not the best for teas, but I am counting on the low petal count of MMe Antoine Mari, which should help it open even in damp weather... I had Lady Hillingdon Cl, with similar petal count, and it did very well.

Mme. Antoine opens very well in our humid coastal climate. However, I've never detected much fragrance especially when our serious heat sets in. We're in coastal Virginia and we're almost as hot as Charleston SC!

This variety looks to be identical to what is being circulated as 'Madame Camille'.
