      Description
      A healthy, tough and extremely vigorous rose with spreading growth. It bears masses of small, white flowers, with a strong musky fragrance, which are held in beautiful, flat-topped, cascading clusters, known as corymbs – which can sometimes be made up of hundreds of individual flowers. Each flower faces outwards, exposing a cluster of pretty yellow stamens. Flowering later than most ramblers, in June-July, the flowers are followed by an equally wonderful crop of small, oval shaped, coral-red hips. Murrell, 1964.
