(Albas) Exquisitely formed flowers of the softest blush pink reflex into flat, almost pompon-like blooms of remarkable delicacy, releasing a heady, rich fragrance that is quintessentially old rose. Borne in charming clusters against healthy, grey-green foliage, this once-flowering summer beauty is a model of understated elegance that has graced gardens for nearly two centuries.
