Rose (member) Garden
Listing last updated on Sun Dec 2024
South Grafton, New South Wales 2460 Australia
My mother planted this rose over fifty years ago.She said the name was Penelope. I could never find any existance of this rose only the white Penelope,so I'm very pleased to see that it is the original Penelope as it predates the other and also that it is of Australian origin as it is my favourite rose.
It has exceptional blooms at times but more often has intermediate quality. It is susceptable to powdery mildew if in shade but has survived in the same position in the garden for all these years.
