Rosa Port Sunlight PP19875

Leander Group. Rich apricot. Approximately 90 petals. Repeat flowering. This rose bears medium sized flowers of rich apricot coloring. They are of flat rosette shape and slightly quartered at the center; the outer petals falling back a little and becoming paler. They have a rich Tea fragrance. The foliage and young stems are bronzy-red at first, becoming a fairly dark green. The growth is vigorous and rather upright, about 5 ft. in height by 3.5 ft. across, making it ideal for the back of a mixed border where it will compete well with other plants. It is very resistant to disease. All in all, a good, reliable variety. It is named after the model village in the Wirral built by William Hesketh Lever, where they have a beautiful garden of English Roses. 5 ft. x 3.5 ft. (David Austin 2007, Auslofty). Slightly quarered flowers. 90 petals. Bronzy red foliage turning dark green.
