Stanwell Perpetual. A most treasured possession, and is likely to remain in cultivation as long as roses are grown, for its perpetual-flowering and has a very sweet scent. It was a chance seedling in a garden at Stanwell, Middlesex, and was put on the market by the nurseryman Lee, of Hammersmith, in 1838. That is all that is known about it; but presumably it owes its perpetual habit and floral style to one of the Gallica group, probably an Autumn Damask. In good soil it makes a lax, thorny, twiggy bush up to 5 feet or so, with greyish small leaves resembling those of Rosa pimpinellifolia, which is no doubt its other parent. The flowers are of pale blush-pink, opening flat, with quilled and quartered petals. The main display is at midsummer, but it is never without flowers. Favoured by Miss Jekyll.
