Griffith Bucks achievement was ro breed a rose of such beauty that would flourish in the unpromising climate of Iowa. The buds are large and high-centred in the Hybrid ‘Ica style. Its flowers open large and pink, full of petals, and neatly arranged like a camellia. Later they reflex along their sides and assume a more spiky shape.
