William Booth. Light to medium red. 5 [petals]. 72". repeat.
An Explorer rose. A kordesii hybrid. Canes arch and can be trained to a trellis for best effect. Deep red buds open into clusters of small (2 inch/5 cm), lightly fragrant flowers with pink undersides and golden centers. Flowers fade to an awkward pink. Dark green, semi-glossy foliage generally disease resistant but prone to some leaf spot damage. Round orange red hips. Very hardy (zone 3).
