This rose was a choice of our son when we first planted out the roses in the rose garden,
he was in his matriculation year in secondary school at the time, and I sat him in
a gazebo in the nursery where I was wandering around taking notes of the roses on display
there, making a long list of roses to order bare root. I think we started with about 150 that year (1990) after deciding
what a waste of time it was trying to grow fruit trees
when our lively bird population beat us each time to the fruit.

The rose hasn't really thrived and I added a second "Pristine" not long afterwards
because our son moved into another Australian state before leaving for the States to
further his career.

Bred in the USA and released 1978.
