What our gardeners have to say:
A very popular rose for many years, Baronne Prevost is an early Hybrid Perpetual that retains the shape of the old rose form. Large, globular buds open to full, flat, quartered, pink blooms that fade with age and make most attractive cut flowers. The stout canes are stiff and covered with attractive foliage and short red prickles. This tough shrub, which is compact and blooms in summer with an occasional autumn repeat, is best placed at the back of the border. It likes sun and rich soil. This is the oldest variety of its class still sold. ZONES 5-10.
