Rosa 'Cécile Brünner' is a polyantha rose. Its parents were a double-flowered R. multiflora and a hybrid tea rose, either 'Souvenir d'un Ami' or a seedling of 'Mme de Tartas'.[1] The shrub is vigorous, with very few prickles, shiny leaves, and tiny flowers of a high-centred form in pale pink. It is also known as 'Mlle Cécile Brünner', 'Sweetheart Rose', and 'Mignon'.[1]
The original form grows to about 1 metre in height, but several sports have arisen, including a climbing form, a dwarf white-flowered form ('White Cécile Brünner', introduced by Fraque in 1909[1]), and deeper pink variants.
The original form and 'Climbing Cécile Brünner' have each gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2][3]
