Here’s a heavenly honey of a hard-to-come-by hue in climbing roses…pure pastel pink. Just like its ‘Mom’, America, she’s got big gorgeous well-formed flowers saturated with sweet spicy perfume. Same growth habit, too. But the difference is the angelic soft pink color. Blooms on new and old wood. Free-flowering. A little late to bloom in spring.
