Medium pink Floribunda.
Registration name: CAMalpha

Bred by David Benny (New Zealand, before 1999).
Introduced in New Zealand by Camphill Roses in 2001 as 'Dear One'.

Floribunda.  

Pink.  Soft porcelain pink, fading to off white.  Mild fragrance.  Small to medium, classic hybrid tea bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, compact.  

Height: 31" to 39" (80 to 100cm).  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Can be used for cut flower or garden.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Dear One is one of the new varieties being added to the RINZ Rose Display Trial at the Auckland Regional Botanic Gardens in 1999.
