    Abigail Adams Rose is a very lovely small-flowered rose with pinkish-white blooms. I don't think it is available in commerce anywhere at the moment. I bought mine years and years ago from the now defunct Ashdown Roses. But it does bloom a lot and is very disease free. Does not really ever need any spraying in my humid summers.
