Lafter
Shrub/Early Hybrid Tea
Origin - Brownwell, 1948
Parentage - ('V For Victory' x [(General Jacqueminot' x 'Dr. W. Van Fleet')] x 'Pink Princess'
Color - Salmon/pink/yellow blend
Foliage - Dark green
Thorns - Strong
Size - 4' - 5' h. x 3' - 4' w.
Fragrance - Strong, fruity
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Fair
Hardiness - Zone 6
The color of Lafter is an unusual blend of salmon, yellow and pink. The flowers are borne on a tall bush (4-5 ft.) that is somewhat lanky and very thorny. It reblooms throughout the season (though it begins to bloom later than other roses) and the fragrance is very good. It seems to perform very well in the fall. In December of 2000, Lafter had the distinction of being the only blooming rose in my garden. It is truly a standout rose and commands attention. A disadvantage is a tendency for blackspot.
