My thoughts on this particular rose began way back when I worked in the Nursery Trade, as I was a consultant in this field...Micro-marketing, you might say! Selling this plant was a joy. It allowed me to share with the customers this magnificent beauty. A creamy-pinky-white fluffy blossomy climber of incredible height, literally pours over my arbors, pergolas and trellising, brings with her an old Tea fragrance, which can be enjoyed throughout my garden!I can't say enough good things about this garden specimen, a Noisette, developed sometime in the mid 1800s! Currently, there are five of her scattered across my yard. Her blooming pattern is non-stop and I must say, I have had the joy of picking her blossoms on Christmas Day! I think, she today, is still the best white climber a gardener can grow today...After all, she was the first rose planted at Sissinghurst, by Vita-Sackville West, and her husband, Harold, in the UK and I had the joy of visiting her, a few years back.....the Rose, that is!
