Dainty Bess is the only HT I picked out for myself. It's resonably healthy in
this land of BS but the blooms aren't white here. They are the color the
non-rose growing world calls mauve.

Wow. There is certainly a recommendation, a very strong one really, for
a Hooked-On-Mauve HOM, eh, Cass?

Julie, by "the color the non-rose growing world calls," do you mean that
the rose growing world will call it some other colour?
