More information
It was the first lavender-lilac rose to gain wide popularity, especially in the USA. The flowers, very sweetly scented, usually appear singly on long shoots; with proper care they present well. Sterling Silver is not easy to grow: it does not flower profusely, the bush is weak, and it is susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot. It performs better in warmer climates, where it develops its branching structure more quickly and blooms more profusely, especially with fertilisation and disease prevention.
This variety was among the earliest silver-lilac roses. Its colouring is distinctive among other varieties, and the flowers are glass-shaped to cup-shaped, with a rich fragrance that lasts throughout the bloom, usually appearing in small clusters. Flower production is limited, and repeat flowering requires a longer interval. The foliage is shiny, large, and resistant to diseases. The bush is low and erect. The colouring is more blue-toned than other lilac roses.
