Habe die Rose 2004 gepflanzt ,toller Duft und Farbe, innen kräftig Pink ,aussen blasser.Ich habe die recht weichen Triebe in diesem Jahr am Boden festgesteckt,dadurch treiben alle Augen und es können sich mehr Blüten bilden.
Very beautiful rose with a wonderful fragrance that needs little careThis rose has been in my garden for a very long time, in a mixed bed. It flowers several times a year and has a wonderful fragrance. It is very robust thanks to its Portland heritage and delights me anew every year. One of my favourite roses by David Austin.
It has also survived the cold winters in Upper Franconia very well so far.
I cut it back a little in late autumn and feed it with horse manure, rock dust and compost.
In the following year it thanks me with its growth and abundance of blooms.Automatically translated · Show original
