A Climbing rose introduced by Mme Odile Masquelier in 1997. Huge clusters of large flowers, apple blossom type, white with yellow cast, sweet fragrance, very vigorous to as much as 30 feet (9m), once blooming in spring. A chance seedling of ‘Wedding Day’. As Mme Masquelier describes it, ‘Extremely vigorous, incredibly thorny, it is a perfect defensive rambler. It has the most spectacular hips in all the garden. They are marble size, strong orange in colour, and they mature early. They last until late winter. Excellent for arrangements.’ The rose is named after the street where she lives. Photographed in the Masquelier garden by Bill Grant.
