‘Charmian’: Arbuste… fleurit avec tant d’abandon que ses rameaux ploient souvent jusqu’au sol sous le poids des fleurs. Grandes et pleines, d’un rose opulent, elles s’ouvrent en rosettes plates, puis se creusent légèrement à maturité. Le feuillage vert franc et satiné est exempt de maladies. Avec son port souple, ‘Charmian’ excelle à former de charmants coussins dans une bordure, ou à jouer les semi-grimpants sur un muret ou une clôture peu elevée. Austin, UK, 1982.

Page 86: Charmian Description and cultivation... of all the English Roses, this one comes the closest to being a true climber... deep pink flowers that open flat with a wonderful, heady, Old Rose fragrance... Training works for this rose [don't be afraid to prune it!!!]... Charmian was Cleopatra's faithful attendant in Antony and Cleopatra. After Cleopatra's death, Charmian applies the asp to her own breast just as Octavius's guards enter the tomb...

Page 90: [Photo] Charmian 1982. Seedling x 'Lilian Austin'. 'Charmian' carries large, heavy flowers of a deep pink color, which weigh down its broad arching growth... This rose has a rather floppy habit of growth... it will make a useful short climber of perhaps 6 feet...
