Bea's Pink Cluster". Around 1940 this rose grew luxuriantly over a pergola at Mrs. Beatrice Trimingham's house in Paget. Sadly this plant no longer lives, but slips taken and propagated have found homes in other gardens. Fat buds open crimson, then unfold to bright pink pompom-like blooms about 1 1/2 in.(4cm) across. Some petals roll up making the flowers look like little starbursts. Older blooms turn purplish-pink.
