This is one of the ways we find out that a rose sold in a particular area under name X is incorrectly identified - there are plenty of them!

Hello Margaret,
I recently saw your post regarding the rose called "Madame Berthe du Mesnil de Montchauveau". The reason why I noticed it is that my wife is the owner of the old house in Normandy (France) where Mrs Berthe du Mesnil de Montchauvau used to live in the late XIX century! Hence I would be very interested by any information related to this rose and more than happy to by one !
Kind regards, Marc de Berranger

Kev - the early references we have indicate this rose was “silvery rose”, so unless this rose changes colour drastically, it might be that AmiRoses photo is not of the original rose.
Marc - Margaret lives in Australia. As you live in France, and this rose was bred in France, you might have a better chance of finding it. I will ask the photograher, Marita Protte, where she photographed this rose and hopefully her reply might guide you further. There are two nurseries in France in our BUY FROM tab that may be stocking the light pink rose.

Yes, my comment was a general one - I know nothing about the rose. It would be lovely if you could find one and return it to the garden.
