Cabbage or Provence Rose, rose of a Hundred Leaves, Rose des Peintres (because the eighteenth-century Dutch masters so often portrayed it), of ancient and devious origin brings to our gardens a lovely spring profusion of soft, pure pink flowers and fragrance of sweet old-rose quality. You will probably order it as 'Rose des Peintres'. It will grow to 5 feet as a bush and bloom best when pegged down so that many short stems will develop. Planted beside a low fence, it can be trained sidewise, and the long canes will then produce many flowering stems from the leaf buds. Keep in mind, however, that it is tremendously and treacherously thorny and has only the one period of bloom.
