About Souvenir du Président Lincoln
Other Details

Bred by the famous French rose breeders, Moreau-Robert, and named to honor our president upon his death in 1865, Souvenir du Président Lincoln produces beautiful, fully double, old-fashioned blooms of 80+ petals with a powerful perfume to rival that of Mme Isaac Pereire. His coloring is a lovely, crimson pink with darker shading. This vigorous, upright bush with greyish-green, matte foliage is a repeat-bloomer.

Excellent choice in Oregon

The plant started small. The following year, it grew fast and soon became as large as a climber. It blooms repeatedly in Oregon and survived the "river of rain" in the winter.

Absolutely LOVE this rose!

I'm having a second flush of non-stop blooms and it's mid July. This is the second summer for this fabulous rose! It must love where its planted because its doing so well! This is THE rose for fragrance. It's how a rose should smell. Heavenly!!! I'd include a picture but my camera photographs this rose as a neon pink.

Florida heat hasn’t killed it!!

I was really skeptical but the plant arrived and after allowing it to acclimate in a shaded area, I planted it in full sun. It seems to be thriving!! Leafing out and with some extra watering (we are in a dry period-unusual for Florida in the summer) growth seems very hopeful!! I’m impressed. Can’t wait for blooms!!

Exceptional condition, growth, and scent

East Coast 7a, experienced rosarian. Received my Souv. Linc. exactly one month ago and immediately got him re-hydrated and planted in a sheltered location with almost full sun until about 3pm; other than that, haven't fussed over him at all. One month later... he's doubled in size and I have my first bloom! Absolutely heavenly deeply complex rose fragrance, lovely form and depth of color. I'm about to hit all my roses with some Heirloom Founder's Fish Fertilizer, so I can't wait to see what Souv. Linc. delivers in the next year. Heirloom, you've earned my loyalty and then some!
