An excellent pure yellow rose, that combines unusually strong and healthy growth with blooms of the utmost delicacy and charm. These are quite large and evenly shaped, with many small petals opening to form a flat flower. They have a softness of texture which is most pleasing, and look particularly fine when arranged in a bowl. Its fine fragrance is a perfect balance between a classic Tea scent and the English Rose, myrrh fragrance.
This is one of the most beautiful English Climbing Roses, producing nicely-shaped medium-large flowers. Each bud opens to reveal many petals, which form a shallowly-cupped rosette, eventually opening out quite flat. The color is a very attractive, soft but pure shade of yellow, the petals paling slightly towards the edges. The flowers are produced freely, repeating well. The Pilgrim has a fine fragrance which is a perfect balance of tea and myrrh. The plentiful green foliage compliments the flowers perfectly.
Beautifully formed, large, quartered soft golden yellow blooms open flat with many small petals, that are paler yellow around the edge. The shrub can climb in temperate climates to 10 feet but it can be kept shorter if pruned after it blooms. The growth is strong, healthy, and upright. The leaves are medium green and black spot and rust resistant, although it can be susceptible to mildew. The blossoms exude a strong fragrance that is a blend of tea and myrrh.
