‘Blossomtime’ = Grimpant à grande fleur. Très pleines et d’assez belle taille… combinent deux tons de rose porcelaine; le rose vif de l’élégant bouton à peine éclôt, se maintient au revers des pétales et rehausse le rose plus tendre de l’avers. Odorantes, à cœur élancé, elles s’épanouissent en bouquets ouverts et se renouvellent régulièrement jusqu’aux gelées. .. rosier accomodant et docile… beau feuillage vernissé, vert bronze. O’Neal US 1951.

Translation:

'Blossomtime' = large-flowered Climbing. Very full and pretty good size ... combine two shades of pink porcelain, the bright pink of the elegant button just hatched, the reverse of the petals maintains and enhances the softer pink on the obverse. Fragrant, slender at heart, they thrive in open clusters and are renewed regularly until frost. .. Rose accommodating and docile ... beautiful foliage glazed, bronze green. O'Neal U.S. 1951.
