One of the most charming of the old roses with flowers of exquisite beauty. Very sweetly scented, medium-sized, double, deeply cupped, clear pink blooms. The moss-like wings of the calyx can easily be mistaken for a Moss Rose, and resembles the cocked hat of Napoleon. Very healthy and trouble free shrub, excellent for borders, low hedging.
