This rose is well regarded in the Pacific Northwest, where the relatively mild maritime climate allows maximum growth without the temperature stress of hotter/colder climates.

Perdita is a neat, tidy looking shrub with an upright yet bushy form.  The flowers are soft pink in the center, and almost white at the outer petals.   This ages to blush-pink, flushed with yellow at the base of the petals.

The spicy aroma prompted the British Royal National Rose Society to award a medal for fragrance in 1984.
