This rose which is said to be a hybrid perpetual, has really surprised me where winter hardiness is concerned. Whereas its company, a gigantic Alberic Barbier, suffered considerably from the last harsh winter, this one showed practically no freezing back at all. The plant has now reached almost 2meters. The large, double to densely filled flowers have a strong scent.They have a peculiar sort of fairytalelike beauty which is hard to discribe and even harder to capture with a digital camera. They look a bit like Mme Isaac Pereire. The plant however seems to be of a more easy to grow variety so far. (My Mme Isaac Pereire died some years ago.) Urdh seems to have the necessary qualities to become one of my favourites. Time will show.

I have had a similar experience with 'Urdh'. Indeed, it has all the good qualities of 'Madame Isaac Pereire' -- similar color and form, and nearly as wonderful of scent -- with much better health, a tidier growth habit, and winter hardiness (it's cane-hardy here). For rose growers struggling to keep Mme Isaac alive in a humid Zone 5 climate, I would highly recommend trying 'Urdh' instead. (And one more thing -- it's also surprisingly shade-tolerant. Mine get five hours of morning sun, with the rest of the day in the bright shade of mature black walnut trees, and bloom just fine.)

As I haven t uploaded anything on helpmefind for years, I was surprised to get a comment on my experience with Urdh. Yes I still have this rose, and it is still one of my favourites. Last winter was quite harsh here but it doesn t seem to bother. For some reason or other it was planted very close to the German climber Manita but it doesn t seem to bother about that either. My garden has many shady places but Urdh gets a fair share of sunshine. It climbs on an arch with an inbuilt bench I made myself a number of years ago. It is exposed a bit to some of the harsh Northwest winds that affect the flowers some times but it is amazingly hardy. I say if you plan to plant Mme Isaac Pereire, don t. Choose Urdh instead - if you can get it, which I hope. It is a much better choice. About my gigantic Alberic Barbier it is long gone unfortunately. I planted another one doing everything by the book but it doesn t seem to want to grow much beyond a couple of twigs. I haven t given up the hope though.

Some of the photos do not display when I click on them. There is a box to the left with a number where the photo should be and a description on the right. I signed out and back in again to see if that would help, it did not.
