Grower’s Tip: Because the ‘Duchesse’ blooms so generously, the stems can become heavy with the weight of the many flowers. We recommend providing a little support with a plant ring in the spring. This ensures these fragrant duchesses remain standing proud and beautiful, even after a summer rain shower.
