Oct 29, 2009. Blooming beautifully on a cool sunny day in Sacramento, California. In the "Peace" Rose Garden of the Capitol Park. Large, perfect blossoms.
This is probably my favorite rose in our garden of over 200 rose bushes. Until I found the name of it, I called it my "Porcelain" rose. The color is so delicate - an off-white with just a blush of pink. The petals have a little ruffle to them that makes them even prettier. This rose is pretty from a bud to fully open.
