A sport of Mary Rose, to which it is identical except that the flowers are of a softer shade of pink. We think that this gives it an added charm. It is free-flowering, repeats well and has nice bushy, twiggy growth.

The fragrance is of a light Old Rose character, with a hint of honey and almond.

Piérre Joseph Redouté was the most famous of all rose painters.
