Touch of Venus A rose for everyone to love, is a Hybrid Tea which produces large, richly fragrant white flowers having a delicate pink centre. The long-pointed buds with pink-brushed tips, and the high-centered, exhibition type blooms, 5 to 6 inches wide, are carried regally on stems which are relatively free of thorns. There are about 40 petals. The plant growth habit is broadly upright. 'Touch of Venus' was hybridized by David L. Armstrong and introduced by Armstrong Nurseries, Ontario, California.  Parentage is ['Fandango' x ('World's Fair' x 'Floradora')] x 'Chrysler Imperial'.
