More information
Although the Perdita variety belongs to the Heritage line, it is shorter than Heritage. It has dark foliage and forms a medium-sized shrub. When just opening, the buds resemble a tea-hybrid rose; they first open into cup-shaped flowers and later develop into a rosette. The bud shows a soft pink center, comparable to the tea-hybrid rose Lady Sylvia, with white outer petals. As the bloom matures, it becomes very pale pink with light yellow tones at the base of the petals. The fragrance is spicy; Perdita won a fragrance prize in 1984 .
In bud, Perdita looks like a typical tea-hybrid rose. When fully open, the flower presents a flattened form with many small central petals surrounded by large, flat, milky white outer petals. The flowers are pink, showing a hint of apricot in heat. This appearance results from the pale salmon undersides of the petals and creamy white exteriors. Blooms appear in clusters of 3–7 on a spiny bush with large dark green foliage, susceptible to fungal diseases in autumn. The shrub requires light pruning for a few years to develop structure. A fully established plant in warm climates can reach 2 m .
