BRITISH QUEEN "BEALES' THE BRIDE", HT. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Compact and bushy. . THE BRIDE was a white sport of CATHERINE MERMET. This rose has a different look: globular, blooms of rolled-back petals and silky substance of white blushed with pink; growth compact and flowers often nodding. We are convinced that this is the original BRITISH QUEEN.
