Wow! That looks fantastic. Hadn't heard of this one before, and I can even get it from my favourite nursery. Thanks for posting this.

Yes, it does. I never thought I would say I want another gallica, but I could be persuaded. Macrantha was a favourite of the Tasmanian breeder, Lilia Weatherly, and she bred at least two roses, 'Margaret Bushby' and 'Peggy Coombes' from it.

Stop it. Now I'll be wanting to go and look those up too. You do realise I am trying to keep this stuff under some sort of control?

Sorry. They're roses. You have no hope!

The two you mentioned apparently aren't in commerce anyway, so I'm safe. Nice try though.

(Although Freycinet sounds annoyingly wantable. A recurrent Roseraie de l'Hay would be even niftier than the original.)
