        Peachy pink buds open to beautiful, white, chalice-shaped blooms, with a pinkish hue at the earliest stage of flowering. The incurved petals create an arresting interplay of light and shadow. The strong Old Rose fragrance has hints of almond blossom, cucumber and lemon zest. It forms a neat, rounded, bushy head of growth. Named after the tragic heroine of Shakespeare’s Othello.
