Although blooms look white from a distance, close examination reveals pinkish undertones. Tends to a bit of blackspot but, as with most of the Bourbons, it's worth battling blackspot for those wonderful blooms and their magnificent fragrance. Performs well in Zone 5, in an unprotected area.

Glorious first flush, followed by good rebloom. 3 or 4 blooms brought indoors will scent a room for days.
