Grower’s Tip: Due to the enormous size and heavy filling of the blooms, we recommend providing ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ with a little extra support in the garden. Its flowers are so generous that they can become top-heavy after a rain shower. In a vase, she is an absolute queen; a single stem is often enough to grace an entire room.
