The rose variety Ghislaine de Féligonde is a rambler rose that the French rose breeder Eugène Turbat bred from the multiflora rambler rose 'Goldfinch' × seedling and exhibited in Bagatelle near Paris in 1916. 'Ghislaine de Féligonde' is named after a woman who saved her husband when he lay wounded between enemy lines during the First World War . This version previously found in many rose books has now been refuted. According to Madeleine Mathiot, the name of Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier (1861–1930), a French landscape architect from Paris and a friend of the breeder, was suggested in the Bulletin de l'Association Roses anciennes en France no.11 from autumn 2005. Ghislaine (1914–1994) was two years old and the daughter of a couple he was friends with, the de Féligonde, whom he later laid out at the Château de Chantemesle in Logron / Eure-et-Loiran.
'Ghislaine de Féligonde' can be planted as a small climbing rose on a rose arch or as a free-standing shrub rose. As a climbing rose it reaches a height of 3–4 m, as a shrub it becomes 2 m high and 2 m wide. Its small, musky flowers appear in clusters of 6–12, are 4.5 cm in size and vary from salmon pink to yellow. When hot, they are pale apricot and quickly turn white. In cool weather, they look more pink and don't fade. The flowers are double, with golden yellow stamens.
'Ghislaine de Féligonde' remounts more often a year, taking a clear break after each pile. It has healthy, light green foliage, few spines and also tolerates partial shade. It is frost hardy to −23 ° C ( USDA zone 6 ). Planting in pots is not recommended.
