My absolute
favorite hybrid tea, I cannot imagine having a garden without it.
The blooms are white and edged with red and as the blooms mature,
the red becomes more prominent. They are also exquisitely shaped with
about 40 petals. This rose is also blessed with a powerful spicy fragrance.
This robust tea also holds up well to blackspot better than most.
Grows to about 4 feet high. A must have!
A climbing
sport is also available.
