[From "Old Tales from an Old Rose Collector", by Pamela Ashworth Puryear (reprint from Summer 1987 issue), pp. 17-19]
Another local discovery of this period [1979] was a once bloomer on my great aunt’s house. After much thought, I conclude “Blake” is really Felicite, and the famous “Boat Rose” is the ancestral pink rambler. Month, “Blake” is a woody climber to 20 feet with double pink flowers about the size of a half dollar. Bill Welch grew it over an old well at his farm, while it never achieved the spectacle his front gate did, it was still a fantastic show.
