Moschata Penelope is very pretty. Came through the winter well. Not very prone to disease. Recommended.

In contrast to the usual red rose hips of the other roses, Penelope's fruits are pink balls with white and light green spots, which gradually take on the lovely pink shade as well. But the most beautiful thing about this rose is its flower.
After the first, long-lasting bloom you should remove the faded parts to encourage the repeat flush.
With its small semi-double flowers, the rose is also particularly well suited to a free-standing hedge.

Das besondere an Penelope ist der Farbverlauf, der sich von den apricotfarbenen Knospen über hellrosa und hellgelb bis zu fast weiß zeigt, je nach Blütenstadium. Dazu kommt noch ein süßer Duft. Sie blüht auch im Halbschatten dauerhaft und reich.

Es fehlt der Hinweis für Freunde der Moschata-Hybride: Der Züchter von "Penelope" war Pemperton! Alle seine Züchtungen sind wunderschön - die Blüte und der Duft!

This rose offers what you want from a rose. Abundance of blooms, fragrance, romance, play of colours...
Has developed splendidly. Has been there 8 years +, very healthy, before the second flush it gets a bit weak, yellow leaves etc. Mine grows slightly arching, not stiffly upright, with many single stems carrying blooms along the arches. Accordingly I don't prune it as radically as a hybrid tea. Depending on spread, every two years more strongly, especially thinning out the inside a little. Sprouts abundantly from the base. The blooms are simply beautiful, the yellow colouring inside, the semi-double bloom, the bud, then more strongly rosé as it fades. The fragrance is fine, medium-strong. My favourite rose, which I would recommend to everyone!
