Its a nice little rose and quite hardy.

Madame Ernest Calvat is a nice Bourbon, hardy to zone 5, which was
bred in France. I know roses unlimited carries it and they may be willing
to ship to you.

Best of luck

Hi everyone,

My grandad died in August 07, he loved roses. Unfortunately I didn't
know his favourite one.

I would like to plant a rose in memory of him in my garden. Does
anyone know if there is a rose with the name Ernie in it that is
available in New Zealand?

If not can anyone suggest one, he was born in England. Is there an
old fashioned type with English/NZ ties?

Thanks to anyone that can help.
