This is lovely old tea rose whose aged blossoms have the look of delicate tissue paper. The nodding flowers are very fragrance with an appropriate tea-like scent and display a pale color palette ranging from yellow to pink. My experience with this rose is minimal, as I've only grown it in my garden for one season, but the flowers were generous this summer on a small spindly plant. I've read that she is prone to balling in humid weather as well as occasional mildew and blackspot. I will have to wait and report on the health aspects of the rose next year.
