I first saw this brilliant rose bloom in Los Altos Hills , California when it first showed up.
Blossoms were globular and very large. An amazing blend of ivory pink to strawberry red.
Fragrance was not the strongest. A bit like smelling apples.
The bush was taller than wide . Maybe 4 1/2 feet tall .
An AARS winner.
Cane die back is said to be the major fault.
I rarely plant a rose garden without this one !
Feed this one generously with alfalfa meal and other organic fertilizers.
