More information
A sport of Mary Rose, identical to it except for flower color. Winchester Cathedral is a white-flowered variety; in the latter part of summer the blooms may show a slight yellow tinge at the center. Among white varieties, Glamis Castle is also noted.
This rose is a bud mutation of the variety Mary Rose described in the present encyclopaedia, which bears pink flowers. Winchester Cathedral differs from it only in the white coloring of the flowers. The bush is well branched, with dense, matte, pure-green foliage, not susceptible to fungal diseases. The long flowering shoots branch at the top and form reddish buds, from which pure-white flowers about 9 cm in diameter appear. They are fragrant, with a fresh, sweet scent of old-fashioned roses, honey, and almond blossom. The shape of the flowers is loose, and faded blooms fall off easily. The rose blooms all summer and autumn. Strong stems do not bend under the weight of the inflorescences.
