Rosa Lichfield Angel PP18702

English Musk. Creamy-apricot. Approximately 100 petals. Repeat flowering. The flowers gradually open to form neatly cupped rossetes, each with a perfect ring of creamy-apricot waxy petals enclosing numerous smaller petals. The petals then turn back to form a domed, creamy-white flower. The overall effect in the mass is almost pure white. Linchfield Angel will form a vigorous, rounded shrub which, with its blooms nodding attractively on the branch, will make a fine sight. It will be very useful in a border acting as an intermediary between the pinks and the yellows. The fragrance is generally light but is strongly clove at one stage. 'The Lichfield Angel' is a limestone sculptured panel, dating from the 8th century, which was discovered in Lichfield Disocese. Height 4 ft. x 3 ft. (David Austin 2006, Ausrelate). Cupped flowers. 100 petals.
