n 1996, chemistry professor Robert Linck created a new hybrid rose named 'Sophia Smith' in honor of Smith’s founder. This exquisite pinkish mauve rose is high-centered, of exhibition quality, and on strong stems. The blooms are uniform in color except for a beautiful salmon yellow near the base of the petals. It has a slight fragrance. It’s a perfect addition to your garden and a wonderful tribute to Smith College and its founder.

Price for alumnae: $75. One-year-old bare root bushes will be sent via FedEx.
