Another lovely Romantica rose from The House of Meilland in France. This English-style rose is a marvelous rosy pink color. Outer guard petals surround a heavily petaled cup. The fragrance is tea. Olive green foliage is noted as being disease tolerant, so I'm assuming foliar disease may be a problem at times. Blooms are storm-proof, and that's a really nice quality.
I have just one of this rose, and as yet, I'm not sure where to plant it. It will form an upright 3 x 3 shrub, so it shouldn't be too hard to place in the garden.
