An exceptional
moss ross and an unusual one in that it is remontant. Salet
grows in an upright position (about 4 ft. high) but stays compact
and therefore would works well in a smaller garden. The medium sized
bright pink blooms are slightly mossy and have a nice fragrance. It
is susceptible to blackspot and powdery mildew and this usually occurs
after the first flush of blooms. Despite this drawback, it is a rose
well worth growing.
