Cheer ("Minnie") Floribunda. Good, relaible rebloom. Good fragrance. Short, spreading. Kordes, 1941...This rose...we now believe to be the old Kordes Floribunda called Cheer, which was ruled extinct in 1984 by the American Rose Society...We love its globular blooms which are reminiscent of the old Shell roses Reine Victoria and Mme. Pierre Oger. This is an excellent bloomer and makes a compact plant.

Freude classed as a Hybrid Poly. or Floribunda, as the American Rose Society terms the class, is more H.T. than anything else here, as the clusters are not to be compared to those of Else Poulsen or Karen Poulsen; the blooms are near replicas of Cathrine Kordes on a smaller scale and bright cerise pink.
