The description says: Average diameter 2.25". Large, single (4-8 petals) bloom form...
Should it be at least medium (or even small) instead of large?
In the references The Ultimate Rose Book states: "big clusters of small, single flowers" and Favourite Roses: 150 Garden Classics says: "when its arching stems are a mass of little five-petalled flowers"

Bigger flowers than Hiawatha, which is a useful distinguishing feature here, where both are fairly common survivors on roadsides.

Here's me having a hand in it again. Index fingertip to little fingertip measures 2.50".
The words "small, medium and large" have all been used in the references. When we have a measured average diameter, it may be better to go with that. We'll delete the word "large".
