Memorial Day​ Breeders code: Wekblunez​.  Breeder: Carruth 2004​. Parentage: Blueberry Hill x Aotearoa​. Garden: 6.2 Exhibition: 4.5 Health: 6.9 Fragrance: 7.3 Height: Medium to Tall​. Availability: MAT, TAS​. Franklin: Highly fragrant blooms, strong canes that handle exposed windy conditions, bloom colour is a bit wishy washy. Waikato: Healthy, very fragrant, good colour, tatty appearance of blooms. Manawatu: Huge fragrance needs the heat to bring out the best bloom form. Strong bushy plant, extremely healthy, appealing pink mauve blooms open quickly, best in a warm position, shame about the scalloped petals. Hutt Valley: Beautiful flowers with good fragrance. South Canterbury: Lovely frilly edges. Wonderful rose, fragrance to die for, powerful grower and good health. North Otago: Slow to start, good health. Otago: Could be top heavy with flowers.
