I think this is a rose which offers alot and grows well in this wide country of OZ. I have produced a number of seedlings which have shown good bloom form, repeat, scent, vigour and minimal health issues.Here are a few results which I have achieved using this old girl.

This rose produces a multiple array of bloom structures with good perfume .

Warren, they all look great … and the last two really get my attention: so unique, such glossy foliage. If I had seen such good results, I would had ordered Mme C. Testou. Thanks for posting them. Is Iceberg x Mme C.T thornless and fragrant?

I love the first one.

Warren they all do look amazing.

In which regions of Oz have they been tested so far?

Chicago zone 5 ; the Iceberg X Mme C Testou smells like those old fashioned Carnations or Dianthus.

Adam that first one was named after my Grandmother whose family immigrated from Germany back in the 1850’s.It is one of my favourite roses.

George they have n’t left the Riverina yet.
