Wow! That is the usual comment when visitors see this rose blooming in spring. Sprawling over a split-rail fence covered in large rounded magenta roses, Deuil du Dr. Reynaud makes quite an impression. And then there is the divine fragrance. Be forewanred - one sniff may cause swooning! Some climbing bourbons do not repeat, but this rose has sporadic blooms in summer after the prolific spring bloom, and a modest flush in fall.
