Frühlingsduft Kordes, Germany, 1949. 'Joanna Hill' x Rosa pimpinellifolia 'Grandiflora'. This is the only one of the set that has fully double, almost modern H.T. flowers, having inherited these and much of their colour from 'Joanna Hill'. They are shapely, with rolled petals, of a strange lemon-creamy-white, flushed with pink, with deeper apricot tones in the centre. An extremely rich fragrance is its proudest possession. Makes a vigorous leafy bush, 6 feet by 6 feet.

In the 1930s, Kordes produced the lovely large shrubs which share the prefix 'Frühlings' (spring) by crossing the 'Burnet Rose' with Hybrid Teas. All do well on sandy soils and in cold gardens where most roses grow poorly.
