Imogen
English Rose - bred by David Austin
Shrub (sturdy, upright)
Distinctive soft lemon blooms paling to cream. An extremely floriferous and healthy rose with a natural radiance and charm. The rounded soft lemon blooms are distinctive in character, with many delicately frilled petals arranged around a classic button eye. Used in flower beds, rose borders and in containers.
The weather conditions, while the petals are still forming within the bud, influence the quality and strength of an individual bloom's perfume. Fragrance is intensified by warm, humid weather. A flower smells differently in the morning, at midday, and in the evening.
The name 'Imogen' takes inspiration from the daughter of King Cymbeline, and virtuous wife of Posthumus, in Wililam Shakespeare's Cymbeline.
It forms a sturdy, upright shrub.
