    I received this rose as a rooted cutting over the summer and am now overwintering it (it's still small) indoors under lights on a heat mat, with six other similar-sized roses. Aphids have enjoyed nearly every other rose except this one, and it has not lost its foliage, yellowed, or spotted.

    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "A ‘Madame de Tartas’ seedling, and an old favorite which has proven itself over the years. ‘Madame Lombard’ has large, very double, fragrant flowers which are rosy salmon but display a deeper center upon opening. The color is vibrant in the cool weather of spring and fall."
