Insights
One of the most popular climbing roses today, it was bred in France by Joseph Swartz and described as worthless when it first came to market. However, by 1908 it was proclaimed as the best white climbing rose by the National Rose Society. Sadly Joseph Swartz died aged 39 yrs old and never saw his rose achieve its glory.
