Celebration of Roses, January 17: Madame Anisette®
Link to HMF: Madame Anisette®
Acquired From: Rosarian J. Tucker. Can also be purchased from Roses Unlimited.
Own Root? Yes
Would I Grow Again? Hopefully
Notes: This rose was one of those that was devastated by voles in our garden last year. In fact, that’s why I don’t have very many photos because it was heavily in bloom one day and the next a wilted pile on the ground. I cut it back severely and potted it up and hope it rebounds. Give this one a year or two before it starts flowering–that’s normal for this rose. The fragrance is a powerful black licorice scent. A disease resistant plant!
I just purchased 5 of these from Palatine to make a hedge along what will soon be a pool in our backyard. I hope they smell lovely! I got 5 Madame Anisette, 5 Summer Romace (my fav scent), 5 Zaide, and 3 Pomponella. And those are just the Kordes roses…I ordered many DA roses and old roses too! Spring will be very busy!!
Oh my GOSH that sounds like it’s going to be stunning!! And yes you will be very busy this spring but in the best possible way!
