Small semi-double creamy white blooms with yellow stamens cover this dense, twiggy hybrid multiflora rambler in late April. It is quite vigorous and will cover a 20' x 20' area in just a few years. I am unwisely growing mine on a pergola where it is threatening to take over the other roses growing alongside it. It would be a better candidate for growing up a tree or covering a small building. It has nice green foliage that shows good disease resistance. Also known as "Shakespeare's Musk". A lovely rose and beautiful when in full bloom but beware of its vigor and size.
