'Mary Rose' is one of the finest David Austin roses to date; thankfully, her white-flowered sport 'Winchester Cathedral' has all of her good qualities:  full growth habit, good disease resistance, and fine flowers which re-bloom reliably.  Dark foliage is the perfect foil for the white blossoms. 

A further recommendation for perennial gardeners:  If you have a 'white garden,' do find a place for 'Winchester Cathedral,' as she will provide a good foundation of reliable bloom throughout the season.

Named to aid the Winchester Cathedral Trust, which is entrusted with the upkeep and restoration of the famous church in London.
