Baronin Anna von Lüttwitz   Breeder: Ludwig (Louis) Walter, 1909, Germany.  Parentage: 'Euphrosyne' x Rosel Dach'.
Class: hybrid multiflora.  This rose produces large clusters of small, double, light pink flowers with yellow centres that open out to show their stamens and then fade to white.  The older references say it had deep pink flowers so the rose being grown today is probably not the original rose.  The plant grows to 16 to 20 feet (5 to 6 meters).

Bennett's Seedling. Syns.: Bennet's Seedling', 'Thoresbyana'.  Breeder: Bennett (Bennet, according to some sources) of Thoresby, 1840.

Very light pink, semi-double, medium sized flowers open from pink buds and quickly fade to white. They have flat bloom form and a strong musk fragrance.

Debutante .....Long hanging clusters of small, double, light soft pink flowers fade to palest pink.  The color is much lighter than 'Dorothy Perkins'.  A rose with medium pink flowers was sold incorrectly as 'Debutante' for many years before the true variety was rediscovered on Cape Cod near Walsh's place of work.  Little scent can be detected.  There is one spectacular summer bloom and no repeat.  The canes have shiny leaves and few prickles and will reach a height of 15 to 16 feet (5 meters).
