.... From all accounts the original bush form of ‘Mrs. Herbert Stevens’ was a reliable plant and proved popular for some considerable time; however it is as a climber that this rose is better known. The climbing form of ‘Mrs. Herbert Stevens’ was discovered in France in 1922, and since the popularity of the bush form was on the decline by then, its sudden urge to climb probably saved it from extinction, and ensured that our current generation can enjoy an exceptionally beautiful rose. There have been few good white climbing roses, and the fact that climbing ‘Mrs. Herbert Stevens’ is still in many nurserymen’s lists today, serves to indicate just how good and how important a rose it is. With the exception of ‘Mme. Alfred Carrière’, which is important for its tolerance of shade, I would rate this rose as one of the best of the older climbing varieties, certainly from among the paler shades. It has a strong scent, is very free-flowering during its main flush in early July and often repeats with a few flowers in autumn. Pointed and long, the buds open to four or five inches across. It does not like wet weather, but then few white roses do. If placed on a sunny, sheltered wall, its dislike of rain will not present a problem, and like all roses with a strong Tea ancestry, it will respond to any extra care. The foliage is a rich, deep green, though with a slight tendency to mildew later in the season, and is sufficient to provide ample cover to an unsightly wall or fence, especially one of dark colouring. Its vigorous nature makes it quite capable of climbing into trees, providing they are not too densely foliated.
