Rosa ‘Dr. Henon’
Hybrid perpetual. Rivers described the flowers of ‘Dr. Henon’ as rather small, white, slightly tinted with straw-colour, on a bush of delicate growth. Paul, on the other hand, described the flowers as white, large, full, globular and fine. A first rate flower but habit delicate. It was among the handful of roses, among 70 or 80 new varieties imported, that bloomed well at Paul’s Nursery in 1856. [Rivers (1857, 1863), Paul 1863, GC p.788/1856].
