'Général Kléber' rose References
Book (2006) Page(s) 75-76. My rose guru, Graham Stuart Thomas, gave a rare review to the moss rose 'Général Kleber'. He praised its "clear and refined beauty", the double blooms which are large, cotton-candy pink, and fragrant. ...At four feet high and wide, it's aniother nice choice for a small garden. It is heavily mossed on the stems and buds, a feature taht appeals to me. There are a few inches of dieback on the canes, but not a cumbersome amount.
