Tea Rose - Mrs. B. R . Cant

1901

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.
