This plant is in the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden in San Jose, California. At the end of April 2009 it was covered with bloom. The foliage is small, dark and shiny and the plant was disease free in this non-spray garden. This garden also gets very hot in the summer. The blooms are just flushed with a delicate flesh pink and then they fade to almost white. Buds are flesh pink.
