Stainless Steel™
1997 Intro
(cv. WEKblusi) Pat.#10,188
Hybrid Tea - Silvery grey lavender
This "everyday" version of Sterling Silver is much easier to care for, much easier to grow and has much longer lasting flowers. Yet it still possesses the wonderful perfume and the mysterious pastel color that places its far-removed ancestor in rose history. The trophy hunters will go for the classic show form and the nice long stems. Deep green large leaves clothe the tall vigorous plant.-

Stainless Steel is among the most beautiful roses to ever grace a garden and it's one of the easist roses to grow. My plants are strong, healthy and relatively disease free. The flowers almost always come one to a stem making the perfect for cutting, adding beauty to both the interior and exterior of my home. Dennis M. Pillsburry Bethesda, MD
