Climbers.  Gwen Fagan POULgwefa  Gwen Fagan collected historical roses in the W. Cape, restored them on old wine estates. I named a modern rose with an antique look in her honour. This stately shrub grows 2m high; the canes start arching & carry clusters of large, double, fragrant blooms; side stems appear on the boughs, each carrying more flowers; very healthy; low maintenance.

Boschendal and Drostdy [two gardens in South Africa], have been landscaped by Mrs. Gwen Fagan. Her knowledge of old-fashioned roses in the Cape Province is unrivalled, as is her collection of living plants.
