William Baffin. Deep pink to light red. 15-20 [petals]. Variable [height]. Intermittent.
An Explorer rose. A kordesii hybrid. Extremely vigorous. Large clusters of slightly fragrant flowers just under 3 inches (7.5 cm) across with yellow centers. More red than pink. One excellent first flush and some limited rebloom later. Glossy medium green foliage on reddish, very thorny stems. Generally disease resistant, but vulnerable to certain types (races) of black spot. Extremely hardy with minimal dieback in severe winters. An excellent choice to replace true Climbers in the far North (zone 2).
