Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The large, very fully double, deep-fuchsia-pink flowers of this delightful 6' rounded, arching shrub have a clean, light sweet fragrance. With its distinctive fern-like foliage it is pretty planted alone or in a mixed shrub bed. The buds and fruit have interesting spiky bristles giving it its 'chestnut' name. This delightful, very old rose dates back to 1714! Beautiful, easy-going and disease-resistant. S/M
