Botzaris was introduced in 1856 and it has all the attractive characteristics of a heirloom rose. Flowers are a creamy white with touches of pink, very double and quartered.There's a strong, rich damask fragrance.  And it's hardy to Zone 4...no need to baby it through a Chicago winter. 

At a height of 3 - 5 feet depending on pruning, you can fit it into a mixed border or use it as a specimen. Given full sun and good air circulation it's quite disease resistant. Do fertilize in spring, and mulch to keep weeds down and moisture in the soil.
