Beauty of Dropmore was obtained from a cross between Rosa altaica and the double white form of R. spinosissima known as the Burnett Rose. It is a hardy shrub growing to six feet in height with good foliage and handsome pure white fragrant flowers some of which are almost hybrid tea form. It was catalogued in 1956, but as there was little demand for this type of rose at that time propagation of it was discontinued for the time being.
