The climbing sport of the beloved 'Cecile Brunner' (The Sweetheart Rose), introduced by Hosp in 1894. It retains the exquisite, miniature, perfectly formed, soft pink buds that open to delicate, double, blush pink flowers, borne in large, graceful sprays. The fragrance is sweet and tea-like. This vigorous climber reaches 15–20 feet, with smooth, nearly thornless, reddish canes and small, healthy, dark green leaves. It blooms heavily in spring and repeats well. Its romantic, fairy-tale charm and vigor make it ideal for arches, pergolas, and cottage gardens.
