Book (Dec 1998) Page(s) 289. Includes photo(s). ‘Gwen Nash’. Modern, large-flowered climber. Pink blend. Repeat-flowering. This variety bears long, pointed buds that open to rather silky-looking blooms of a gentle rose pink, with yellowish white towards the base of the petals, and prominent golden stamens. The flowers are large, with 12 or more big, waved petals, and eventually develop a cupped form. The raiser said that he believed this rose to be ‘the most beautiful thing in decorative pinks I can hope to produce’. There is a light fragrance. It requires a warm climate to thrive, and is best suited to a pergola or trellis where it is not limited for space. The plant grows vigorously with clambering stems, with large wrinkled leaves that are grayish green in color. Zones 6-10. Clark, Australia, 1920. ‘Rosy Morn’ x seedling.
