When Handel first came out, it created a sensation. It was the first repeat flowering climbing rose to bare he distinctive pink edging on it’s blooms, much like that of Peace. It also created a new interest in shorter climbing roses for smaller gardens.

At first it’s flowers are creamy white with a pink band around the edge of the petals. As they open they change, often according to the weather. In cooler climates, the colours fade where as in warmer climates the colours intensifies and then seeps into the paler part of the flower.
