Everyone I asked to comment on the perfume of this rose MARIE CURIE^® automatically relaxed all face stress muscles and confirmed that this is the typical rose fragrance they know from mama’s or grandma’s garden. Sweet, medium strong, very pleasant. The rose makes medium sized (7-8 cm across), semi-double to fully double flowers of soft pink colour with salmon orange tones in the centre and dark pink on the outskirts. Buds appear in trusses of 3-5 from June and continue in several flushes until October. In good soil leaves are usually trouble-free and need no treatment against common rose diseases. MARIE CURIE^® forms an upright shrub of 60-80 cm tall. It was bred by Alan Meilland in 1996 as a cross between Coppélia ’76 x (Allgold x LeGrice).

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate a wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: Cut the branches in halves in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts.
