Glenara clone
White, tinged pink in the opening bud.
Glenara 'Tonner’s Fancy' – the leaves are smaller than “Thelangerin Tennis Court Rose”.
The flower is not nicely arranged and has a slightly messy look.
It is a small buttonhole rose, very pretty and very thorny,

The “Thelangerin Tennis Court Rose” is nearly white, a much neater flower almost of classical form.
The 2002 reference describes it as "creamy, mauve pink-centered".
