HONEST PIC. It is an awful rose. Maybe te worst AARS ever and yes, I do understand we must consider Apollo, Broadway, Prima Donna, Gypsy, Golden Slippers and Bing Crosby. THIS picture is what the blooms tend to look like. The blow open and end up spikey and ugly. The plant is a blackspot magnet. FAR behind its release date----and THAT is 39-43 years ago depending on the continent!
