We are privileged to be given the opportunity to name the rose after such a well loved and respected actor. It is one of the most highly scented of climbers. It flowers continuously through the summer and is a glowing pink with softer pink edges to its outer petals. Hybrid Tea in shape - its foliage dark green and glossy.
