Comments: Spectacular and Unusual. The first rose I bought after seeing the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden for the first time. A McGredy 'hand painted' rose. So called because of speckled edges. No two blooms are alike. Blooms in clusters and flowers pretty much continuously all season. Quite a show when in full bloom.
