Heideroslein Lambert 1932 'the heather rose' is a typical hybrid musk - healthy fragrant shrubby, reliable. This is not particularly well-known but we like it a lot. A well-known and admired rose. One of the healthiest roses in our garden and certainly one of the most vigorous. Hard pruning keeps it within bounds, but it can be left to climb just as well.
Buds have a soft apricot blush which shows well as the flower opens.
Soon turns to ivory-white. Huge heads of big blooms betrays its hybrid musk parentage. Individual blooms can exceed 10cm. 1921 One of the most perfect and spectacular single roses. Being a tea rose, she has shapely pointed buds, but when they open to a rich apricot bloom with prominent stamens, the real worth is revealed.
