I've had this rose for 3-4 years. It really has uniquely beautiful flowers, but it repeat-flowers poorly in strong heat like the summer of 2003. In summer it also loses a lot of foliage and, at least last summer, looked very bare. Maybe it didn't get enough water, but at any rate it obviously needs more attention than most of the other English roses I own.

I've had the rose for 2 years, but of all the pink shrub roses in the bed it is the most pitiful :-(( It struggles badly with black spot, has thin shoots and little foliage, but wonderful flowers in form and fragrance. Maybe it just needs a bit more time to get used to moving from England to Bavaria; it is certainly frost-hardy.

I planted it this year and I'm thrilled! The flowers are medium-sized and smell wonderful! It hasn't had to struggle with black spot in my garden (I sprayed once as a preventive)....

Nur im ersten jaar war diese rose gesund, jetzt hat sie sternrusstau und wird von untzen recht kahl. Blühen tut sie doch, aber ich glaube ich werde sie nächtes jahr abschaffen. Schwierige rose

I have lots of roses and have already written a few reviews in the forum.. but this rose is something special. I forgive it everything - the susceptibility to black spot in unfavourable spots, the leaf drop when short of water and "inattentive" treatment, the - only slight - fragrance even though I'm a big fan of fragrance - all of it, all of it doesn't matter to me! I nurture and pamper this little diva - I love her more than all the others - why?!? - Well, it's these flowers, this delicacy, beauty in form and colour! I kept this rose for 10(!) years in a large container; this year I moved house and she now stands next to my Gertrude Jekyll in the front garden. She's been flowering for two days now! She doesn't yet know what she wants to do - a few of the old shoots have dried up, and now I'm hoping for new shoots from the base. If not - no matter what/how - then I'll buy 2 rose bushes of her again, this time right away. As I said, I have many Austin roses that I love, but SHE, yes, this rose is simply enchanting!!!

She is one of my favourite Austin roses, because her flowers are the most comparable to "old" roses among the Austins. They radiate a delicacy and sweetness like no other rose. In addition, the flower keeps changing from opening to fading: at first it has the shape of a tea rose and later it resembles a pompon flower with hundreds of delicate petals, reminiscent of a powder puff, which is further emphasised by the soft pink fading to pale. Compared to most old roses, however, the flowers are clearly larger. The foliage is relatively healthy. Since she has been with me for 3 years now, she occasionally gets black spot in unfavourable weather. I don't spray as a matter of principle. That doesn't stop her from flowering, though. In my garden she stands in a half-shaded bed, surrounded by all sorts of perennials and roses, so if the foliage isn't looking its best it doesn't stand out as much. The fragrance, too, can quite compete with the beauty of the flower. An older Austin rose that will hopefully stay in the catalogues for a long time.

The plant I reported on in 2008 is still in the front garden. In addition there is another specimen in a sunny border. I'm still thrilled with it! The sunny border suits it better; there it has developed over the last 2 years into a shrub 1.50 m tall.

I planted the rose in autumn 2011, and after that fierce winter with extreme bare frosts it was the first rose to sprout beautifully and then also one of the first to flower. In no time it grew into a lovely bushy little shrub and at the end was almost 1 m tall.
Then it fascinated me with its wonderful flowering. It was incredibly lavish, and above all it kept re-blooming throughout the summer. Right in the first year it had turned into a continuous bloomer. This rose thrilled me. And the flowers are a dream. They have so many faces, sometimes looking like porcelain with a delicate blush of pink, sometimes with a hint of apricot and sometimes in a stronger pink. And often with the button-shaped centre, which I personally find utterly delightful. And then again just simply fluffy.
And not to forget, it also has a wonderful fragrance and was very healthy. A fantastic rose that I would plant again and again.
