The earlier Tantau roses with this name are now out of stock. They have been replaced by a new plaited variety with densely petaled flowers of unusual coloration: ivory with pale green at the base of the petals. The fragrance is delicate and fruity. Blooms all summer. The flowering shoots reach 3 m in length, but they can be trained lower along a support and will cascade under the weight of the flowers. This rose has glossy, dark green leaves. According to the breeder, the variety is disease resistant.
