St. Swithin is disease resistant in zone 6B, Kentucky, without spraying fungicide. Very easy care. The blossoms are radiant with a light but sweet scent. Generous bloomer with old fashioned look.

According to Nomenclature the information on this rose should be: 1915
Bred by Hendrikus "Hens" Antonie Verschuren (1844-1918)
(Netherlands 1915)
Hybrid Tea.
Light yellow, copper shading.
Unnamed seedling x Souvenir du Président Carnot
And I think, as my great-grandfather Hens had a number of descendants with the same name (and even the same initials)....it might be wise to adapt the credits of his roses to 'Bred by Hendrikus "Hens" Antonie Verschuren (1844-1918)'....just my insight arisen while writing our jubileebook

Seed parent corrected, thank you! Do you have a reference for the date of 1915?

A 1918 rose cannot have a 1974 parent.....Golden Star (1916) was another one of my great-grandfather's roses
