Nursery contributed plant descriptions

English Musk. Soft apricot paling to cream . Approximately 120 petals. Repeat flowering. This is a very robust and free flowering rose, bearing large, rosette-shaped flowers that are cupped at first, the petals later reflexing. Initially the color is a soft apricot that pales to cream with age. The blooms are produced freely in large clusters, elegantly poised on slightly arching stems. Particularly successful is warmer climates. Some judicious summer pruning will help keep it compact and encourage quick repeating. Very healthy and hardy. Delightful Tea Rose fragrance. Named for 'The Crocus Trust'. Height 4 ft. x 3 ft. (David Austin 2000, Ausquest). Large, cupped than reflexing flowers. 110 petals.
