I don't see where it is stated in the literature that this was a seedling from 'Victor Verdier'. I do see some statements around that it was of the 'Victor Verdier' type, but that's a horse of a different color.

Just like Azay-le-Rideau, it’s also behaving like a shrub in the south of France in its 3rd year:

- Abundant first spring flush
- Repeats well but with significantly less flowers in summer and autumn
- shoots up to 3m in autumn, but won’t fall over

The bush is very much like Princesse Charlène de Monaco: tall, relatively narrow, well branched.

The disease resistance is exceptional - almost immune to black spot and powdery mildew, only slightly infected with rust when the disease pressure is high.
