April In Paris - 2008 Rose of the Year, When Pristine met New Zealand, the result was this remarkably romantic rose. Classic seashell buds slowly spiral open into blooms of the palest dawn pink edged in a soft pink. Substantially petaled, they last and last in a vase. But that's not all. Intense tea rose scent wafts from the flowers like an uncorked perfume bottle. Savor them in bouquets and in the garden.
