Edward Littaye. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm. and elegantly pointed; as they expand the petals show great depth and richness. The flower is superb when open, extra large and perfectly double. Small pot plants, when planted in open ground, quickly make large, strong bushes that produce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers of perfect flowers that are enchanting in fragrance and delicate brightness. It is a clear rich pink, changing to a silvery rose; healthy; is hardy with ordinary protection.
