Penny Lane
(Large Flowered Climber, 1998) – translucent ivory blushed apricot. Advocates of Hybrid Teas and Old Garden Roses never see
eye to eye because they constintly disagree among other things on what is the most beautiful flower form – the high centered
bud of the HT verses the full buxum bloom of the OGR. Penny Lane pleases everybody. Buds start out high centered like Hybrid
Teas then quarter themselves as they fully open like Old Garden Roses. Basically you get the best of the both worlds. Throw in
strong fruity fragrance with good climbing growth habits and you have a remarkable rose. Definitely one to add to your wish list for
romantic climbers. Winter hardy to zone 5.
