The
Name of the Rose - Named after a member of the breeder's
family.
This
rose was bred to withstand the brutal winters of Canada but it is
equally happy in a warm southern garden. It is a large, upright shrub
that can grow to 7 feet high. The fragrant flowers are a deep rose
pink which fades to a pale pink. Rebloom is very good especially if
deadheaded. The leaves are a distinct blue-green. This is usually
the first rose to bloom in my garden.
