Name translation is Lace Pillow. Some of my roses are named as a hat tip to my Swiss/German Grandfather.

While I am not a fan of single roses, this one has one of the strongest fragrances of any I have hybridized. It is also hardy and sets hips and produces lots of pollen. This year I am putting all different colors of pollen on it just to see what happens.
