‘Ballerina’: Arbuste… myriades d’églantines rose tendre à coeur blanc, en corymbes plantureux… Hormis l’absence de parfum, ce rosier est sans défaut… buisson rond de hauteur moyenne, foisonnant de feuillage vert franc. Il est aussi à l’aise en isolé (en arbuste libre ou sur tige), pour marquer un point fort du jardin, qu’en groupe ou en haie fleurie. Il tolère même la taille s’il faut en limiter l’extension… Bentall, Royaume-Uni, 1927. RHS: Award of Garden Merit, 1993.

Page 17: [Photo] Ballerina [One of the author's fifty favourite roses. Gibson devotes several pages to a discussion of this rose, including its history, training and cultivation.] This rose makes a dense, rounded shrub... The many flowering shoots carry large heads of small, single flower, light pink and with a white eye, resembling and often compared with apple blossom... It came from the Pemberton nursery after Joseph Pemberton's death and was probably one of his seedlings... J.A. Bentall introduced 'Ballerina' in 1937, the same year that the German nurseryman, Peter Lambert (who had earlier bred the shrub rose 'Trier' which was the foundation variety of the hybrid musk line), introduced a rose very similar to 'Ballerina' called 'Mozart'... they are so alike that it seems possible that they were sister seedlings...

Page 19: [Photo] In the 1960s, Fryer's Nurseries put it in their catalogue and really began to promote it... In their 1964 catalogue they devoted a whole page to 'Ballerina'... It makes an absolutely first-rate standard rose, forming an excellent head, much better than that of any hybrid teas or floribundas...
