Special Characteristics
Winner of the 'James Mason award' 2002
from the Royal National Rose Society

The flowers of this rose start as perfect little scrolled buds
and soon open into the most beautiful, large, rosette-shaped
flowers of rich glowing pink. The growth is upright and
vigorous and in every way reliable. The most outstanding
characteristic of this lovely rose is its beautiful and
perfectly-balanced Old Rose scent. This is often described
as being the quintessential old rose fragrance.
The foliage and growth are similar to that of a Portland Rose,
with the typical Portland widely-spaced leaflets. It forms a
medium sized shrub which is robust and free flowering.
