Something is eating the leaves off my roses. First one small plant, then it moved over to another plant. It is eating some stems, but mainly leaves. I bought some insecticide that was supposed to be for catapillars, even though I haven't seen any, and the leaves are still disappearing. Any other thoughts?

Could it be a rabbit or a squirrel? If it is, try spraying the roses with a window cleaner at half strength as both hate the smell of ammonia.

According to Rogue Valley Roses, its fragrance and rebloom are both strong.

To me there is a definite difference between these two roses. Blanche de Belgique is the stronger grower and has tidier, organized type flowers. Mme Germain makes a more twiggy bush and the flowers are fluffy looking more like a ball of petals.

How funny to stumble upon this misplaced reply while looking up obscure roses!
The Old Rosarian -- perhaps you'll wish to copy this and paste it back under 'Blanche de Belgique'.

Has anyone grown this rose in a warm climate (southern California or equivalent)? I'm wondering how large this rose gets and how the blooms hold up hot weather.

I have Flora Danica and it is planted in the warmest part of the garden. It shows no sign of objecting to constant full sun all day. It doesn't even bleach out.

I have a Flora Danica (Spellbound) in zone 9B. Mine is in full sun all day. It gets hot here in the Summer. We have many days over 100 degrees. It is doing great. It seems to love the sun. The blooms have very vibrant colors and hold up well.
