'Dainty  Maid'  Medium   +  Pink     Remontant  P3    H4 *
'Dainty Maid' is one of the most attractive single pink roses ever raised; the petals reflect the colour softly, and the yellow stamens illuminate it discreetly. The plants are vigorous, their dignity well served by their leaves. Not many nurseries stock it, more's the pity. It was raised by Edward Le Grice of North Walsham, Norfolk, and introduced in 1938. Its five petals are fairly large, deeper pink on the outside; one of its great advantages is resistance to rain damage. It was a seedling from 'D. T. Poulsen', a red Floribunda.
