Mlle. Blanche Lafitte (OGR)

Flowers whitish-rose, double, borne in clusters, repeats in autumn, vigorous growth. The flowers took my breath away the first time I saw them. Mlle Blanche Lafitte for graceful growth, nonstop bloom, sweet scent and clusters of powderpuff pink flowers.

Mlle Blanche Lafitte may grow about 7 ft tall and 6 ft wide if you don’t prune hard, and have no reason to reduce its size. It might be kept a little smaller in a home garden.
