Niphetos - Rosebush Tea

Creator: Bougére, France, 1843
Flowers: 9 cm
Height: 80 cm

The flowers of the “Niphetos” are of a pure white, with fragments of a yellowish lemon color on the base of the petals. They come as one or sometimes in groups of five throughout spring and summer.
Back in the 19th century it was a rose used in the Court. This mutation “Rosebush Niphetos” first appeared in 1889 in England and was marketed by the company "Keynes, Williams & Co”.
The flowers are identical to so many others climbing roses, but this one is in fact a vigorous rose that however does not tolerate low temperatures.
