Felicite et Perpetue
Light pink buds open to white or near white blooms with an
average diameter of 1.5”. The very full (41+ petals) flowers have a
button-eye, are cupped to flat, and rosette in form. They are borne
in large clusters against glossy, medium green foliage. Strong musk
fragrance. Shade tolerant. Once blooming in spring or summer.
Growth habit is rambling, 15-20’ tall by 10-12’ wide. Can be trained
for pillar form. Resist the urge to cut back this hardy, vigorous
grower too heavily...it doesn’t like it! Prefers full sun and loamy,
well-draining soil. Bred by Antoine A. Jacques, France, 1827. At Old
City Cemetery it can be found in Section EE, the Confederate
Section.

Gruss An Achen
Color varies in this delightfully unusual rose. Flowers are
light pink, salmon-pink center, yellow undertones, red
highlights, and age to cream. Gruss an Aachen is believed to
be the original rose that began the Floribunda class. Blooms
are very full (41+ petals) clustered, 3” in diameter, and are so
prolific that they nearly cover the 3’ tall by 3’ wide bushy
plant. Mild, sweet fragrance, minimal thorns. Shade tolerant.
Prefers full sun and loamy, well-draining soil. Bred by L.
Wilhelm Hinner, Germany, before 1909. At Old City

Macartney
Originally introduced as an ornamental plant, Macartney is
highly adaptable and will grow almost anywhere. The flowers
occur singularly or in small clusters. Its 5-petaled white flowers
bloom from April to July. Its many branches and hooked thorns
make it an excellent living fence, and it is also good for erosion
control. Disease resistant, hardy, will grow in poor soils and
shady areas. The name Macartney rose originates from the mid
18 th century when it was named after George Macartney, the 1 st
Earl Macartney in England. At Old City Cemetery, it can be
found on the west side of The Wall in Section M.
