Margaret Merril Rose

From what I have seen, Margaret Merril is prone to many diseases and pests, so bear that in mind before planting one. Still, it's a lovely looking rose, with a great spicy fragrance and is probably worth the effort.

The difference between the unopened flower, and one fully opened is quite apparent in the pictures.
