The Name of the Rose - Lady Waterlow (nee Margaret Hamilton) (1849-1931) was a California society heiress who married Sir Sydney Waterlow, a baronet and Lord Mayor of London.

A modest sized climber, Lady Waterlow is a good candidate for a pillar, post or low fence. Large, loose double blooms have the appearance of a hybrid tea rose and appear early in the season and continue off and on throughout the summer. The strong, fruity fragranced blooms are salmon pink with a faint flush of yellow near the center. Foliage is a healthy dark green and canes are somewhat stiff and thorny. This climber can reach 12 ft. and grow to 8 feet wide. In the first year in my garden, the rose has shown good disease resistance and robust growth.
