Overview
Henri Martin is a moss rose raised by Laffay and introduced in 1862. Its flowers are magenta and carry a strong scent, a pleasing feature of this old rose group. Allow plenty of room: it can grow to about 2 m (6.5 ft) tall and 1.5 m (5 ft) wide, so it suits the back of a border or a spot where a large shrub can spread. The RHS gave it the Award of Garden Merit in 2012, so it is a reasonable choice for UK gardeners who want a historic rose with strong colour and fragrance.
