Notes:
Michael at Michael's Premier Roses says this is the first miniature to look like an old garden rose... Justice Miniature Roses says this vibrant pink rose is essentially a scale model of a centifolia. The open bloom is quartered and could pass for something bred in the last millenium... disease-resistance, bloom production and hardiness are unexcelled...
