Description

'Pascali' is a tall, upright shrub, 4 to 7 ft (121—200 cm) in height with a 3 to 4 ft (90—121 cm) spread. Blooms are large, 4—5 in (10—12 cm) in diameter, high-centered in form with tough petals (26—40). Flowers are slow to open, and are borne singly on long stems, which makes them an excellent exhibition and cutting rose. The flowers are a clear white with an ivory reverse. The rose has a mild, sweet fragrance and large, dark green foliage. 'Pascali' blooms in flushes throughout its growing season. The plant does well in USDA zone 7 and warmer.[2][3]
