This rose has got to be the best-kept secret in rosedom. It produces large camelia-like blooms on a vigorous, exceedingly healthy, and winter-hardy bush. It is one of Heirloom Roses' own hybrids. I believe Heirloom is the only source for this rose. If you try looking it up on HMF, you will not find it, only other cultivars with the same name. Not much fragrance, but the bloom is spell-binding in its perfection. Perhaps its only fault (other than lack of fragrance) is the shape of the bush - uneven, with some tall canes towering above the rest of the plant. Also, rose midge loves this bloom too, but I've almost eradicated that problem. Highly recommended for zone 5. -Paul
