Description:
'Buff Beauty' has members of the  Noisette class as ancestors and retains many of their good qualities; she has lovely flowers, outstanding fragrance, and re-bloom is excellent.  With long, flexible canes of twelve feet or so, 'Buff Beauty' is ideally suited for braiding up a pillar or training on an arch.   One of the most breathtaking garden sites I have ever seen was a rock retaining wall where 'Buff Beauty' was allowed to trail down over the sides.  The excellent siting of the rose allowed for the canes to grow horizontally and downward, ensuring that plenty of flowering stems would emerge from the lateral canes.

'Buff Beauty' may go a little bare during the middle of summer.  Also, keep on the lookout for short, rigid canes which may grow from the base; prune these out and keep the long, flexible canes which can be trained as desired.  

Finally, 'Buff Beauty' is a good rose to grow if you like cut flowers, because substance is good; the flowers will last well on the bush and when cut.
