Bow Bells is truly one of the best roses that I grow. I grow around 1300 for 15 years. Bow Bells is highly resistant to blackspot in my southern humid and hot climate. Always in bloom. Bow Bells gets huge, 8 x 10 if given space. I also grow around 80 of the David Austin roses, and this is one of the best. It just lacks the big scent and lots of petals that everyone has come to expect from most Austin roses. Bow Bells does have a mild fragrance.

9/007 I am interested in getting THE NUN, '87. Would you reccommend it? I live in the Silicon Valley, CA. I have intense sunlight, but also have a lot of shade on our balcony. Also, will this rose grow in a pot? Thanks!

I noticed that the listing here says "occasional repeat" but you say your's is always in bloom. Also, everytime I see the rose at Huntington Gardens and Descanso, it seems to be in bloom?

Mine's a really great bloomer. I'm in humid, hot NC z7b. We do get winter chill, definitely. I don't know whether it's a climate thing or what, but I highly recommend her as far as bloom quality and frequency!

Thank you for posting this photo, Aimee. I'm happy my first "found rose" continues to grow at The Huntington!

No problem, it's gorgeous, it always strikes my eye when it's blooming.

The blooms on The Doctor are relatively simple and loose, but they are very large. The color is a strong medium pink with a yellow at the very base.
I planted a gallon from Roses Unlimited 9/10, so far I've had no trouble with health, etc. I'm happy with the plant so far! It seems to grow and bloom well in my inland southern california garden. (zone 9b, SW18).
The fragrance is indeed strong and beautiful, perhaps it's best feature is the fragrance!

the search function doesn't seem to be working just now...? I tried it in two separate browsers. I had no trouble yesterday.
