A Best Landscaper

Big ivory petals with lavender highlights at center; clove fragrance. Tender young foliage may also emit clove-like fragrance in spring sun, leading to subtle surprise. Medium height bush is spreading but strong, with big leaflets, prominent in effect. A descendent of the Saunders' cultivar Silver Dawn, very fertile, used effectively in breeding by Roy Pehrson and Chris Laning. Seed parent of our 'Dearest' and 'Golden Wings' and new prospects coming on. Item 1420.
