'Vanity'  Climber Pink    Remontant   P4   H3  ** 
I suppose 'Vanity' was not intended as a climber, but it is quite impossible to make a well clad shrub from it; as it is rather beautiful with its large single flowers, bright rose pink with yellow stamens, the most practical way to enjoy it is to treat it as a climber. Raised by Pemberton  from  Château  de Clos Vougeof  seed; introduced in 1920

Graham Thomas.  The Value of Shrub Roses in The Garden.
Vanity is not so popular as the others, but strangely enough I have twice shown this rose before the Royal Horticultural Society and two awards have been given, both of them in October.  ‘Vanity’ is growing as a bedding plant in the rose garden just outside the Oxford Botanic Garden;  with hard pruning it is constantly in flower.  It is equally good on a north wall;  I found it growing in the north forecourt at Cliveden, another National Trust garden, where absolutely no sun reaches it after 9 o’clock in the morning, and it never stops flowering.   Here you see it with late October autumn colour and these huge late trusses of blooms, sometimes two and three feet across, bear many flowers like a cloud of butterflies.  The pink in the autumn is much more delicate than in the summer and it has a most refreshing scent;  it is an excellent rose of a clear enough pink to associate with autumn colouring shrubs and trees.
