From Rosegathering.com class: Bourbon, synonyms: Mme de Stella, breeding: Margottin, 1851, Louise Odier, also known as Mme de Stella, was bred by Margottin in 1851. The bright lilac pink rose is distinctively feminine, elegant, and highly refined with a fresh fragrance of raspberry and deep Damask rose. The center of the rose is quartered framed by outwardly folding petals, which form an intricate lacing of concentric circles. The flowers can come in heavy clusters that arch down the canes. The rose makes a lovely small climber, and is about 8 feet in my garden. It can be vulnerable to blackspot and mildew, so precautions may be necessary. Louise Odier looks best when it is not planted near anything that is overwhelming, so that the rose's fine features can be accentuated.
From Antique Rose Emporium: Louise Odier,Bourbon,
1851, This old Bourbon is a hardy rose, bearing very full, medium-sized, camellia-shaped blooms in a bright, light rose or deep pink shade. The plant is vigorous and large, making it suitable for shrub use or for training on pillars or posts, as suggested by Gertrude Jekyll. The fragrance of ‘Louise Odier’ is delightful. 4 to 6 feet Z5-9 R Fr dp

This is a great OGR that's very hardy and tough in my zone 5 garden. It comes thru winter with very little die-back. I love the blooms and the color of this rose. Mine is in it's 3rd year and I'm anxious to see how it does this season.

Louise graced my first rose garden. She was powerfully fragrant. I left her behind when I moved, and am so sorry. Must remind myself to place her in my new garden!
