Hard to find information on this older rose, still offered....for the time being at David Austin US. Purchased it bare root this year and it leapt out of the gate. Grew easily and was loaded with blooms, I would say at least 25 compared to my other bare roots from which I averaged 5-12 per plant. Appears to be a dense plant with flowers held upright. The blooms themselves have been variable so far, which is normal for a first year. The petals show the influence of one of the parents, Lillian Austin, in the ruffled flower form. The color has varied from mid pink to light pink and the petal count has gone up with each new flower. The scent hasn’t fully developed yet, also normal for newly planted rose, but I have caught some whiffs of what I would describe as damask and strawberries, once it is full strength it will be heaven.

Not bad in a vase, lasted 3 days and I noticed a hint of spice in the fragrance once it was inside. The firm, upright stems made it lovely and easy to arrange. All in all, very nice addition to garden.
