More information
Jacques Harkness named this hybrid tea rose in honor of his only daughter’s 21st birthday. In England it maintains typical growth, while in hot climates it quickly reaches 2.5 m. The flowers are consistently pearly white with pale pink, cream, and apricot tones, fading to ivory in hot weather. They appear at the ends of long shoots, usually singly, sometimes two or three together. The long petals are prone to rain damage; in dry weather, blooms develop well. Foliage is dark and the bush is upright. Black spot and rust may occur in some regions.
Branched, upright bush up to 75 cm tall with abundant bright green foliage. Flowers are well-formed, ivory or cream, with a pink highlight in the center. Blooms are abundant and long-lasting. A winter-hardy, disease-resistant variety. Tolerates poor soils.
