    For me Lillian is not salmon pink but rather clear pink that fades to white on the edges. Blossoms are very long lasting and it blooms for about a month. This rose is *very* cane hardy in rural Z5. It's a fast grower and needs LOTS of room. It does not sucker excessively and is disease resistant. No black spot or mildew for me.
    Blood red canes add winter interest.
    I love this very easy to grow and hardy rose and highly recommend it.
