(Moss Roses) Clusters of creamy white blooms, delicately flushed with the softest blush pink, open in semi-double formation and breathe a rich, lingering fragrance throughout an exceptionally long season, from midsummer well into autumn. The mossy buds are a delight in themselves, lending this rose an old-world charm that feels timeless. Also known as Mousseline, it is one of the finest repeat-flowering Moss roses in cultivation.
