 great beautv, which appeals to everyone. The flowers are of 

 enormous size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade

 fragrant of the Climbing Roses.

 parts clamored for more because it can always be counted on

 fragrance in the cup. You'd enjoy this Rose planted where it 

 could grow to 3 to 4 feet and please you with weekly bouqurts.

 dium size cupped double, fragrant, white with tinge of yellow
