Karlsruhe LCl (K) rrr / f / 2  Kordes, 1957.  [Provenance Hahn; Jensen]
Very large, old-fashioned flowers of deep rose-pink with silver-pink reverses, showing to great effect in the quartered and button-eyed blooms;  dark glossy foliage.  This rose has been around for nearly forty years, and with the renewed appreciation for old floral styles, will, we hope, receive the attention it so justly deserves.  Thanks to Siegfried Hahn for sending us this!
