Massey University (MACwhitba) was always going to attract attention because of its name. Massey is celebrating 75 years as a University and this McGredy bred rose is sure to please. It has large HT blooms in a hot salmon colour. I thought it would have scored higher than its 66.6. Like me, many graduates of this learned institution will probably buy it for nostalgic reasons.
