General Kleber Moss Rose circa 1856

$18.00 bare root when available (before May)

A very beautiful and wonderfully fragrant rose of old.
Flowers are clear, medium pink tinted with a hint of lilac forming very double
flat blooms with a button eye. The buds are wrapped in lots of light green
moss.(see side picture)
Centifolias are known for their powerful fragrance and this moss rose is no
exception.
Medium size bush grows about 4' tall and wide. Foliage is olive green.
Unlike most moss roses this rose has a good bushy growth and not too lanky.
The centifolias love to sucker so does this rose - so put this beauty in a place
that it can spread without overtaking the garden.
Winter hardy to zone 4. Some winterkill in zones 4 & below.
Once blooming.
