    Bourbons: Beautiful, fragrant, repeat blooming roses, the Bourbons require a little more care
    than the once blooming O.G.R.s. Good cultivation and well amended soil are essential for good
    repeat bloom. They can be prone to black spot and will need at least an organic fungicide to keep
    them presentable later in the season. That said, they are beautiful, soulful, if somewhat high
    maintenance plants and well worth the effort.

    'Honorine de Brabant'  unknown Beautifully striped and spotted, Honorine bears pale pink blooms
    with darker markings of mauve and violet. Flowers are very double, fragrant. The arching bush is
    nearly thorn-free. Re-bloom is good, especially in fall. Bush is healthy, particularly for a Bourbon.
    May be used as a climber or pillar rose.    SOLD OUT FOR 2011
             
            ‘Zepherine Drouhin’  Bizot 1868  Bright pink, semi-double, fragrant
        and good repeat flowering. The Thornless canes are good for training around trellises
        and doorways where thorns would be a problem. Zepherine blooms on through the worst
      conditions. Can be pruned to bush, or grown as pillar or climber. Zone 5 hardy SOLD OUT FOR 2011

    Hybrid Perpetuals Large flowered, re-blooming hybrids originating in the nineteenth century.
    Expect wonderful bloom in rose season and a good flush in the fall. Hybrid Perpetuals require

    They will reward you well.

    ‘The Fairy’ Bentall Eng. 1952  Spreading,healthy bush bearing a profusion of small bright pink flowers in large clusters.

    rebloom and health. This was among Bertha Reppert’s favorites. The clusters of flowers dry nicely for wreaths.
