''lovely Tea fragrance'' so it says... my first sniff and I thought it was smelling of tar as in tarmacadam or ship's diesel...no wonder Miss Dench sneezed at the Chelsea Flower Show as she put her nose to it.. I'm sure it will change over time... nice blooms, stand out in the landscape.. rich colour...

Interesting. This is one of the more appealing Austins IMO. I find a lot of them to be a bit over the top, but judging by a photo I found elsewhere this one is quite gorgeous. I'll be keeping an eye out for reports on it.
