King of Siam. A medium development climber with very double and tight, cherry red, very fragrant flowers. The flowers, like those of some teas, are not erect and the inclined stem causes them to look down, making the center of the roses clearly visible to those who admire them. After the first abundant spring flowering, the following ones are discontinuous. This variety was selected by His Majesty the king of Siam himself, among the many seedlings of the breeder who had settled in Sanremo.  Dimensions 250 x 200.  color: magenta. flower shape: double. perfume: intense perfume. re-flowering: repeated. habit: climbing. size: small.

[From an article "Les roses sur la Cote d'Azur" by Jean Gaujard]
Il faut citer aussi Noëlla Nabonnand, Roi de Siam (extrêmement parfumé), Marie Lavalley, Souvenir de Léonie Viennot. Climbing Herriot et Climbing Hadley, et enfin une variété peu connue sur la Côte d'Azur, mais qui prendra vite une place importante, Mermaid ; cette variété donne dans cette région des résultats surprenants.
