"Cécile Brünner" -- also called the "Sweetheart Rose", "Climbing Mignon", or "Buttonhole Rose" -- is a polyantha first introduced in 1881, and in its climbing form in 1894. It has long been a favorite of gardeners, for its pretty pale-pink flowers and its hardiness in a wide variety of climates and conditions, as well as resistance to most rose diseases. It can grow from 15 to 30 ft. (4.7 to 9 m), but is easily kept smaller.
This particular bush was whacked back to stubs a few months ago, but has bounced back quite prettily.
