    This rose is outstanding in my Texas garden near the Gulf coast. She is constantly covered in blooms. The shrub is very dense and maintains a tidy vase-shape. The blooms tend to be a pale salmon in the heat of the summer and a rich, deep pink as the weather cools in fall.

    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium: "The perfect hedge plant, La Marne is a neat, erect bush heavily covered with healthy, shiny leaves which reblooms heavily. The flowers are borne in loose clusters of open pink and white cups that are showy and attractive at close range or at a distance. La Marne prefers open, sunny areas."
