Dr. Gerald Meylan. Naming Of The Rose 'Henrianne de Gerlache'......The father of the rose is REVE D’OR. It is a Noisette with almost persistent dark green and bright leaves, yellow and copper coloured flowers with shades of ruby and a Tea Rose fragrance. The mother of the rose is TAPIS VOLANT. It is a modern hybrid tea with a hanging habit, which should be planted in the front row of the rose-bed or on a slope. It has large bouquets of light pink, simple flowers, which bloom until the first frost and look like a cloud of delicate little flowers. The fruit of this union between REVE D’OR and TAPIS VOLANT, with the variety name VEL 12mtare and the identification code is Y232, joins the category of shrub roses, also called landscape roses or park roses. It has an arched habit and can rapidly reach the height of 1m50. Its young branches are free of thorns and light green in colour. It has dense foliage with light green leaves, made up of 7-9 lanceolate leaflets resistant to pest and disease. More than a hundred semi-double light pink and white flowers make up its floral bouquets with a delicate fragrance.
