It's lovely! I like the sort of lavender/pink color.

I like it too. It is supposed to be mutable... kind of like Koko Loco I think? Or maybe more like WWII memorial... not sure. I will let you know though! :-)

Lovely bloom, thanks Cori, I was interesting in this rose. Love its lavender color. How many days the flower last in the dry heat? How's the disease resistance?

I grew it for several years in half day sun (it got the morning half) and the color was never that strong a purple.

The problem with half day sun was the plant wanted full day sun to really take off, but I wanted the paler color blooms.

Hi Daisy. It's too early to really say for mine. I will have more of an idea by next year since it's just a little band.

Hi Stillann. I wonder how the sun here will be different. Mine is against an eastern facing wall where it gets sun until about noon. I will update as time goes on. :-)

I have grown it for more than 10 years. I love this rose for its distinct colors. It is rather small, almost like miniature, but it has decent repeat and very delicate blooms.

I do not spray in my garden

I'm at 36degrees north of the equator, and 1100' elevation. The north of the equator will be the same sunlight hitting everywhere 36 north, and my elevation in summer generally has humidity which does decrease sunlight intensity. Lower humidity= more sun gets straight through. We can see the mountains 36 miles away in winter and spring. In summer we often can barely see three miles away.

Cori, that's how I feel about my Distant Drums. At its peak, its staggeringly pretty, but within a couple of days the tan color looks like it's turning brown. Great rose if you want unusual coloring, not so great if you want vivid lasting color.

Hey Cori, I just received Florence from RU, can you tell me a little more about it’s growth habit and how big it is for you now? Trying to decide on placement in the garden.

I love those colors! I only just discovered Florence Delattre--are you still liking it?

I absolutely LOVE this rose - got mine from a CA nursery back in 2004 (or 2003) - today my husband accidentally destroyed it.. really hoping it to come back but looking for another one in case it doesn’t.. I’m going to call Rosesunlimited tomorrow but is there any other place I can get this rose?

These are taken from different years. I’d so appreciate it if someone can let me know where I can get Florence Delattre- the nursery I got this beauty from is no longer in business 😢

I got mine from Roses Unlimited

Thank you Aaron, I actually did too!
I was overjoyed when I learned Roses Unlimited has them, so ordered 3 😂for 2022. I was originally told via email they are sold out, but when I got a call from Stephanie she said they have 4 left. I also saw your comments in a different thread on Guillot roses, and contacted Freedom Garden. Peter is so nice and I ordered one more Florence along with Lullaby and Sonia Rykiel for 2023. Without your comments, I may not have been able to find them- Thank you so much! 🙏
