A hybrid Rosa wichurana Rambler introduced by Walsh in 1905. Flowers double, pink fading to white, in large clusters; height 15-20 feet (4.5-6m). Still popular around the world in spite of the fact that it has sat in the shadow of ‘Dorothy Perkins’ for a long time. Certainly more disease-resistant than the latter. Excellent for an arch as the flowers hang down.Named for a character in Song of Hiawatha, a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American writer. Parentage: Rosa wichurana x ‘Paul Neyron’.The second photograph, was taken at the Tete d’Or rose garden in Lyon, France, by Bill Grant | ||||||
