The large, eye-catching semi-double blooms are a beautiful blend of creamy-white and cherry red. The blooms have a ruffled appearance. This shrub rose grows in an attractive mounded shape, wider than it is tall and the wonderful flowers are set off by a background of rich, deep-green leathery foliage. 'Birthday Girl' has earned more Gold Medals than any rose that I know of. Gold Medal at Bagatelle, Gold Medal at Monza, Gold Medal at Rome, Gold Medal at Saverne, Gold Medal at Baden-Baden. Outstanding. Continuous bloom on a very disease resistant plant.
