Old rose 'Celestial' (Alba)

She's a beauty, with grey foliage and soft pink flowers. Scented, but flowers only once. Dated pre 1800 apparently.

Very pretty one, Anget. Interesting info too.

These old roses have such subtle colour, don't they? We've had this in a garden before and HAD to have it again. She grew well on a steep 7ft. bank that other shrubs really struggled with.
