This rose is my favorite, and has been since the first year I got it.  As you can see from the pictures, it is a red blend with a white/silver reverse.  The blooms are a perfect exhibition form, and guess what?  It is absolutely stunningly fragrant (see above fragrance award)!  This is a great rose for both northern and southern gardens.  In the north, it is one of the few HT's I have that has very little cane dieback at all from the winter.  It is also very disease resistant, especially in regards to Black Spot.
