The foliage is dark glossy and abundant. Few thorns. Continuous flowering. Good in a container. 5ft by 3ft. Cecile Brunner 1881. The Sweetheart Rose. Miniature H.T. shaped blooms of pale pink.Sparse foliage, always in flower. Perpetual flowering. 3ft by 2ft.Irene Watts 1896. An absolute gem.

Stays short and compact. Continuous flowering. 2ft by 2ft.Mutabilis 1896. An extremely free-flowering variety with a smothering of single blooms that change through yellow and pink to crimson.
