| Chaplin's Pink Climber
Introduced in 1928 this climber won a Gold Medal from the National Rose Society. It's little wonder: the plant grows to 20 ft and in the middle of May it smothers its support structure with pink flowers. We must forgive it of two shortfalls: it has no fragrance and it puts on such a show just once a year. It probably does, nevertheless, produce more blossoms in its few short weeks in bloom than most repeat-flowering roses do in several seasons. |

The idea of growing a rose primarily for the beauty of its foliage is a novel one, yet the foliage of Pearl Drift is so shiny, dark, and beautiful that one might plant this rose for that foliage alone. Were one to do this, one would get as a bonus large, double, pure white flowers produced periodically through the season on a large shrubby plant. The foliage frames and enhances the flowers magnificently. The rose, bred by LeGrice boasts an Royal National Rose Society award from 1979. It was bred from two of rosedom's most beautiful and vigorous roses Mermaid and New Dawn. |
