p70.  (Somserlow)  FL, bred  by Rob Somerfield, Glenavon Roses. Trial No. 5015. This rose was voted the World Federation of Rose Societies People's Choice Award for the best looking rose on the awards day. The attractive orange red large clusters certainly looked great on the day. The plant is of medium height, bushy habit with glossy dark green foliage. Would be okay for those into exhibiting I feel. Unfortunately It did get some powdery mildew at times.
