Description
The 'Comte de Chambord' old rose is one of the most beautiful Portland roses, as well as one of the most flowering. Very recurrent and highly fragrant, it is perfect for small gardens and terrace decoration. Its flowers are full, with an intense lilac pink color, opening flat and in quarters. Its very thorny vegetation shows an upright habit and is adorned with abundant light green foliage. Its flowers are also very beautiful in bouquets. A fertile soil will support the autumn flowering.
The 'Comte de Chambord' rose is an old horticultural variety, obtained in 1860 by Moreau-Robert. It comes from the 'Duchesse de Portland' rose, a spontaneous hybrid discovered in the South of Naples in 1800, and the 'Baronne Prévost' rose. Not very tall, it forms a bush with an upright habit without being stiff, which will not exceed 90cm (35.4 n) to 1m (3ft 4in) in height and 80 to 90cm (35.4in) in width. Its deciduous and abundant foliage is carried by strong and very thorny stems. Its colour is rather light green, and it has a good disease resistance. It blooms abundantly around mid-June, then sporadically during summer (in cool climates) and in September-October, once it is well established in a fertile soil. It produces large bouquets of very double roses, about 7cm (2.8in) wide, with more than 40 petals, very silky, more or less curled, arranged in quarters. Their colour, very rich, blends pink, lilac, and purple. The fragrance of its roses is sumptuous, with both sweet and fruity notes. Its flowering will be more generous in a cool and fertile soil, and it is particularly suitable for cold climates.
The use of the 'Comte de Chambord' rose is diverse, from romantic bouquets to large pots on the terrace or balcony, to small perennial flowerbeds that will not compete with its roots. Its roses go well with the silver foliage of Santolinias, Stachys lanata, white foxgloves, and paniculate Gypsophila. It will also thrive when planted alone, along a path, to enjoy its fragrance. If you have enough space, English, old, or shrub roses are magnificent when planted in groups of three plants. They will grow together to form a beautiful opulent mass that will bloom even more generously.

Planting and care
Plant your 'Comte de Chambord' Rose in a sunny or semi-shady location. Old roses are tolerant but do not appreciate excessive limestone. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well-worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil well by crumbling the earth and placing an amendment, such as dried blood or dehydrated horn, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets, and water during dry weather for the first two years. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting.
Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
