Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Old Rose Hybrid. Crimson. Approximately 70 petals. Repeat flowering. Good red roses are never easy to breed, so we are particularly pleased to introduce 'Darcey Bussell' as we believe it to be one of the best and healthiest of our red varieties. The flowers are not excessively large, but are produced freely and with excellent continuity. When young, their outer petals form a beautiful rosette. The color is a deep rich crimson that takes in a tinge of mauve just before the petals drop. It has a pleasing, fruity fragrance with just a hint of green. This rose, with its short, bushy growth, would be an excellent shrub for the front of the border or for planting in formal rose beds. It would also make an excellant plant for a large pot. Darcey Bussell is the highley acclaimed ballerina. She was appointed principal at the Royal Ballet at the age of 2. Height 3 ft. x 2 ft. (David Austin 2006, Ausdecorum.) 70 petals.
