Description

This is for Mies. This is it's second flowering since I bought it in July. I wish she could smell the perfume. Here is what the breeder says about it:- A tough little rose that bears flowers of the most perfect formation - shallow cups of the purest rose pink. These hold their form to the end; the occasional petal falling back to give a pleasing effect. The plant has an excellent bushy habit, maturing into an attractively rounded shrub with its flowers almost to ground level - a characteristic that we particularly favour at David Austin Roses. The young foliage is bronze at first, later becoming green - and the whole plant is of truly ‘Old Rose’ character. There is a strong, pure Old Rose fragrance that has been described as reminiscent of rose-based cosmetics. Harlow Carr is the newest and most northerly of the R.H.S. gardens. A fine display of English Roses has been created there.

When I opened this image, the first thing I thought was: "it's like I can smell them." And when I read, you had placed them for me, I became so warm inside, dear Jenny. I suspect I know this kind of Rose, so therefore also the smell. It Seems to me the smell of a wild rose species, that formerly stood in the fields near where I had my youth. I also think my father (which was a rose hobby grower) also had this rose in our garden. I know, it's not to convey through pictures how beautiful everything is on this rose. But I think it's wonderful that you did this sweet upload, as all is very sweet of your rose, Jenny.
