Scots Roses of Hedgerows and Wild Gardens
(1998)  
 
'Falkland'. A delicate blush, reminding one of the lovely alba rose ‘Celestial’. The flower is rounded, double, with curving petals that have slightly rolled back edges.

The dark stems have long straight thorns and there are tiny reddish prickles along the backs of the leaves.
