Noted by
Antique Rose Emporium:
"Only the best was good enough to be named after the wife of famous rose breeder and nurseryman, Benjamin Cant. This fat, full, cabbagey flower is a silver rose color with a dark rose reverse. The rich, cool fragrance is a treat, but the bush requires a little extra space; we have seen specimens reach 8 feet in every direction if they are not pruned. A steady bloomer and a superb cut flower."

My young plant of Mrs B R Cant has been wonderfully healthy: abundant blue-green foliage and no black spot, which is rare for the Texas Gulf Coast. However, so far she is acting more like a ground cover than a shrub or climber. She also bloomed prolifically her first year in the ground. Definitely a keeper!
