The origin of this variegated rose is unknown. Daisy Hill Nursery in Newry, Ireland, did not breed roses, but it submitted several chance finds, including this cultivar. It was reportedly found in an Irish garden and is considered a re-named old rose. Rambler Rector blooms in large, airy clusters of small semi-marginal rosettes, 10–50 per cluster. On opening, the flowers are creamy white with bright golden stamens in the center, then fade to pure white, and the stamens quickly turn brown. After flowering, small orange hips appear. The foliage is pale green. The bush is strong-growing and disease resistant. Easy to cut. The variety can be pruned and grown as a large shrub (2 m).
