Breeder's notes:
A Compact Floribunda this is a charming little rose of creamy-white with hints of pink on the petals and with a honey coloured centre to each flower. The fully double blooms are borne in large numbers and the petals are tidily arranged to form a neat cushion-like flower. It has a moderate fragrance. Foliage is dark green, growth is bushy and compact. Stems not over thorny.

Named for Colby School in North Norfolk, which has just celebrated its Centenary. The school was attended by Peter Beales when he was just 5 years old.
