‘Charles de Mills’ Rose

Rosa gallica 5x5' Parentage unknown. Likely originated in the Netherlands and named in France in the 17th c.

Classic old garden rose with large strongly aromatic deep magenta-pink, perhaps purplish-red, flowers—it’s hard to say where one color ends and another begins. Very double blossom opens flat like a saucer with petals divided into distinct “quarters,” as though it was sheared. It is exquisite, and easily one of the most jaw-dropping in all of our rose trials. Petals hold on in bouquets. Robust, hardy, suckering and easy to grow. Roundish symmetrical form. Deep glossy green foliage is moderately resistant to black spot and other foliar diseases when given sufficient air flow. Z4. (9–18" bare-root plants)

Small Trees and Shrubs

As Green’s Nursery catalog from 1904 explains, “There are many trees that by pruning can be made to resemble shrubs, and many shrubs that by different pruning may be made to produce medium-sized trees.”
