Mascotte

This rose could have easily been put under the "Pink Roses" section. However, the one pictured is more red than pink, and the actual flower itself looks more red to my eye. It has a great perfume, and probably looks better in a group planting rather than single specimens.

I've always like Meilland roses, and Mascotte is no exception.
