Beautiful, very rounded flowers of soft apricot fading to cream. Particularly strong fragrance. Bushy, upright growth. Extremely healthy.
One of the most fragrant of all English Roses. Its strong, warm, intensely floral fragrance is in the myrrh family and has hints of apricot. The plump buds, with attractive flashes of red, open to form beautifully rounded, chalice-shaped blooms of soft apricot, which eventually pale to cream.
It forms a particularly healthy, upright, bushy shrub with few thorns.
Wollerton Old Hall in Shropshire, located not far from our nursery, has one of the most beautiful private gardens in the country. The gardens are set around a 16th Century hall and feature roses in creative plant combinations, including many of our own English Roses. Wollerton Old Hall is open to the public on selected days throughout the summer.
