A Beautiful Rose

Clusters of roses so full that each stem looks
like a bouquet of roses

Vigorous Shrub
- A creamy white rose with gorgeous salmon buds
- Buds open to huge five-petal flowers with lovely yellow stamens
- This is a modern shrub rose that could easily reach six feet tall, and is full of clusters of flowers that are always in bloom.
- Count on a lot of growth in one season and the canes are very winter hardy
- Would do well as a climber, in borders, or as as the star attraction in your garden.
A lovely pillar
- Shade-tolerant
- Good disease resistance
-
Considered a hybrid musk or maybe
more accurately a modern shrub rose -
Foliage is glossy & dark, canes are nearly
thornless and well-branched - Zones 4-9
