Man, there's a lot of people named Nicholas Rose.

It's supposed to be a fairly small plant, if that helps.

LOL....so you Googled it, too! I was wondering more what the blooms really looked like, but thanks Shazam.

You've got it spelled wrong. It's Nicolas without an H. There are lots of pics on Helpmefind. :0) Looks fairly similar to Champlain.

Here is a link that might be useful: Helpmefind.com

Canadianrosesociety.org has both a picture of the flowers and a description of the shrub. Do a search for 'Explorer roses'. You will have to scroll down a bit but then a list of them appears. Nicolas is #6. Hope this helps. Marg

Thanks so much, northspruce and marric! Both links are really helpful! Now I have a good idea of what to expect.
