00-015-04 Fl/HT Bred by Bob Matthews. This lovely lilac HT/Fl rose often attracted my attention, it always endeared a second look, the blooms faded in the bright sun this trial endured in the second year but the plant although a bit scraggly in the autumn was quite healthy, it flowered freely and was not far away from receiving an award. Trial number 4811.
