The McCartney Rose

I found this info when searching out the origin of this rose.

(I had read previously that it was named for Linda McCartney!)

All I know for sure is that it is a superb rose!

'The McCartney Rose'

"The selection of 'The McCartney Rose' was made in honor of Paul McCartney's 50th birthday. The award-winning hybrid tea offers large, deep pink flowers, good disease resistance and an outstanding fragrance that can be detected several yards away. Its vibrant pink color, wonderful fragrance and perfect form for a hybrid tea goes well with Paul being a perfectionist in everything he does,"
says Jason Brown, new plants coordinator at the Conard-Pyle Company.Celebrity Roses
