RIR score: 8.3 out of 10.
Parentage: [Fragrant Cloud X Tradition]
Hybridized by William A. Warriner
Introduced in 1976
This climber flowers freely in summer and has a good repeat. The buds are high-centered, ovoid, and open to reveal coral pink, cupped 3.5 inch blooms that are full, nicely formed with overlapping petals and strong fragrance. The growth is vigourous and free branching, with medium sized, semi-glossy leaves. It makes an excellent climber of lower than average height (10-12 ft.) so is suitable for walls, fences, and pillars. Unlike many climbers, it does not resent being pruned to form a big shrub.
This rose was introduced in the bicentennial year of the United States of America and is an AARS winner for 1976.
