changing to soft pink in the older flowers— suitable 

 for arches and pergolas and makes a fine hedge. 

 One of its parents was the Tea Cleopatra, one of the 

 worst of growers — such is the uncertainty of Eose 

 hybridisation. 



Trier (Lambert, 1904). — A perpetual flowering

 flowering. 



Wichuraiana (the type introduced to Europe
