Notes:
Fryer's Roses says Westminster Pink is a stunning rose - a gorgeous, bright shell pink with huge elegant blooms, which even for an HT are enormous, breathtaking and beautifully formed, almost perfectly symmetrical, unaffected by weather and when carried in trusses of four or five together are especially impressive. It blooms freely on a powerful, medium growing bush covered with healthy foliage. There is a certain 'old world' charm about this glorious variety which has already attracted a great deal of attention on our trial beds during the past few seasons. Named in honour of Westminster School.
