    "Lara" is a creamy white rose I saw at the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in England this summer. I fell completely in love with her lacy petals and bought it for my aunt there. Searching for her in the US - a little hunting online shows it's also been sold here as "Home and Family" or "Atomic Blonde." The fragrance is just lovely with hints of almonds and anise. Very different.
