Georg Arends

Bred by Wilhelm Hinner in 1910 this beautiful rose deserves a spot in partial shade in your garden.
Georg Arends has very famous parents: Frau Karl Drushki X La France so the rose can be classified as a Hybrid Perpetual or as a Hybrid Tea. Growth is strong and rather tall 230X90 cm or 7X3 feet. Good for an Obelisk or pillar. It's a very hardy rose and she can survive zone 4b without any problem. Foliage is rather healthy but mildew can be an issue when planted on a very dry spot without good airflow.
The flowers are almost identical to those of La France so that means typical HT unfolding buds in a beautiful light pink silky color. The color is best if you plant her in semi shade. Thank God the blooms also inherited the delicious La France fragrance which makes the experience even more pleasant. After a good, heavy flush she produces some scattered blooms later in the season. June is her most important flush. 
A very beautiful rose ready to be rediscovered!
