Crested
Sweetheart
Ralph Moore, 1988, USA. 'Little Darling' X 'Chapeau
de Napoleon'
This rose has become one of my personal favorites in the past year!
It is a small climber which produces shapely blooms of clear pink with
the same wonderful cresting on the sepals as R. centifolia cristata,
its parent. (aka 'Chapeau de
Napoleon')
This
is one of several roses bred by Ralph Moore
of California in his tireless quest for
crested roses.
