Prince jardinier is very suitable for procreating seeds
I think it has a great potential for cut rose breeding.

At least P.J. has long stems and a scent to die for!
Bring back the scent in cut roses!!!

I have a question about patenting. This rose was introduced as 'Pretty Woman' in 1997. IDK into which English speaking country but I do remember seeing references to over the past decades. US patent date is 2009, which would be more than a decade after introduction. Should there not be a reasonable time limit between introduction and patent? I could understand one or two years to see if gardeners like the new rose, but a decade seems far too long.

No, I'm use to typo's, having parents who speak English as a second language and while they speak it without issue, they have very little practice in writing it. Their emails are a mix of Danish, misspelt English and often take multiple readings between the typo's and switching language multiple times a sentence.
I'm just pointing out errors as I come across them, given how many pages exist no one is likely to see them all. See something, say something.

I can't help but wonder, why can some roses only go by one name, and yet some like this one have over seven?!! I would really hope that one of the great rose hybridizers of all time 'Francis Meilland' would have a rose all too himself, but unfortunately his rose also goes by 'pretty woman', 'Alexandre Pouchkine', etc. It's just kind of annoying to me, to see someone having shared pics of this rose as something else, when I always thought it was just dedicated to the great Francis Meilland.
Nonetheless, a great fragrant rose that deserves a spot in any garden. It is very tall and vigorous, with just few thorns. I love this rose the most when the centers are more apricot, and the outer petals white, just soo refined!

I grow both a budded plant and an own root. I have forgotten which is which, because both are vigorous and outstanding in my zone 7a garden.
