Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deep apricot. Approx 95 petals. Some repeat flowering. A particularly robust and healthy variety, bearing medium sized rosette-shaped flowers of a deep apricot color. Not quite, perhaps, a typical English Rose but will grow well under difficult conditions and will form a well-rounded shrub or beautiful climber. A delightful raspberry scent in the Tea Rose tradition. Equally good as a 8 ft. climber. 6 ft. x 5 ft. (David Austin 1982, Auslea). Medium, rosette-shaped flowers. 95 petals.
