    Noted by [url=https://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/Antique Rose Emporium[/url]:
    "The flower is a rounded, cabbagey rose of creamy white with the very palest touches of pink in the center of its 100 petals which enfold its fine perfume. The compact growth habit and exquisite bloom make up for the tendency to ball in humid weather."
