What customers say
Camaieux captivates enthusiasts with its breathtaking vintage aesthetic, featuring dramatic crimson and pink stripes on creamy petals. Its defining feature is the powerful, intoxicating Old Rose fragrance, often cited as superior. This unique combination makes it a highly desirable collector's item. However, performance expectations are tempered by its nature as a once blooming variety, disappointing those seeking repeat flowers. Many reviewers also note challenges with disease resistance, specifically susceptibility to mildew and black spot, requiring diligent care. While its beauty and scent are unparalleled, Camaieux is best suited for experienced gardeners willing to accept its limitations for the reward of its magnificent, fleeting display.
