10/1/2018. Madame E. Souffrain. Spencer, West Virginia. Growing zone- 6 a -. The photo of this lovely rose is off a plant that has been planted in the ground for 4 months. The colors are indeed lovely and it smells wonderful. I expect it to take on more petal characteristics of the Madame E. Souffrain as the plant ages, the slightly curled irregular petals which gives it its uniqueness... The blossoms from this plant have increased in size as it grew larger. It seems to be a bit slow growing although this could be attributed to soil which has a high clay content. I plan to add some composed soil from horses and vegetable plants around it, and mixed in to the soil to boost its growth. As well as some bone meal for the blossoms. It will be a lovely rose plant which will grow to heights of 12 feet up my deck. No thorns.

This old garden rose produced flowers early after first planting. The blooms became larger as time passed.

10/1/2018. Madame E. Souffrain. Spencer, West Virginia. This rose plant has been planted in the ground for 4 months prior to this photo. It has produced approximately 12 blossoms during this four month period. The blossoms increased in size as it grew. No thorns at all. The cuttings from this plant have done very well. Better then many cuttings of others I have tried to root. I believe it will do very well in this- 6 a -climate which does have cold snowy winters. Purchased form Rose Petal Nursery. A rare rose business nursery listed on this site. Please see the photo I planted of the lovely little blossom. Gorgeous color, nice smell.

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. This plant is a very thorny, vigorous climbing rose plant. It is approximately 7' tall. It had been growing since planted 4 months previous to date of this picture. It has produced three large blossoms this first year. I would describe the color of these flowers as a pinky mauve. Big blossoms which unfortunately lost its petals fast. Petals were here today gone in three days. These blossoms are shown in the previously posted photo's here on this page. I picked this rose for its ability to withstand rough snowy winters. It was purchased from Rose Petals Nursery which is a business nursery of rare roses listed on this site. I have no problems with it. Very healthy. I hope to see it start producing an abundant of continuous blossoms as it ages. My growing zone is 6a.
