Likely to flourish and deliver his showy, fragrant bloom through a century of springs, 'Monsieur Jules Elie' will delight you with its 'bomb' type flowers that consist of a number of wide, rosy-red petals overlapping and ringing a center mound of lighter rosy-red, filigree type petals creating a subtly two-toned flower with sheens of glistening silver. This well mannered gentleman of the garden blooms in early June on long stems backed by deep green lustrous foliage providing breathtaking color both in the garden and in the house since these blooms are perfect for showing inside and filling your house with their scent.
