MYRTLE GENTRY (Brand, 1925) - Double - Rosy White - Late Midseason. Pleasing fragrance. Rosy white, suffused with tints of flesh and salmon. Strong stems. Good habit. M.

MYRTLE GENTRY (Brand) A beautiful late light pink that gradually fades to almost a pure white. The flower is perfect rose form with great broad, nicely rounded petals of wonderful substance. Tints of flesh and salmon show through' out the petals. The plant is of splendid growth and clean appearance. The stems are strong and hold the great flowers well above the foliage. The flower has the fragrance of a Tea Rose. Our Silver Medal variety.

Kortmann (1998)

'Myrtle Gentry' (Brand, U&A., 1925) Bloemen lichtroze, gevuld, sterk aangenaam geurend, laat; bladeren matig groot, dof lichtgroen; hoogte 90 cm; bloemstengels dun, stevig; vertakking goed. Deze nauwelijks voor Botrytis gevoelige cultivar valt op door de goede habitus, de kleur en de geur van de bloemen. Voor de snij is deze pioen minder geschikt, daarentegen is het voor de tuin een goede, aan te bevelen cultivar.

Burkhardt (2001):

Eine meiner liebsten und am besten duftenden, zuverlässig blühend seit der Pflanzung, etwas schwer in der Blüte, aber ein phantastisches Farbspiel.
