This healthy, rewarding shrub rose carries its very large, double blooms well by itself once established. The blooms appear from June until late into autumn, are sensitive to neither heat nor rain, and exude a fragrance of old roses with a hint of lemon. 

The very healthy, broadly bushy-growing shrub, together with its unique flower colour, has a good landscape impact and also tolerates difficult sites. It therefore lends itself to a stand-alone planting, a bed background, or even a tall hedge.

Healthy and smells wonderful
A very very successful rose from the House of Austin. You read almost everywhere that the fragrance is medium-strong. Well, for me that doesn't apply at all. She smells so insanely and so.. simply wonderful that words fail you. Copes very well with partial shade, foliage is dark green, very healthy. Very upright but nevertheless bushy-growing variety. The flowers are drooping, definitely need a climbing aid or some kind of support. Once you sniff it you never forget the fragrance. By the way the fragrance is very similar to Emma Hamilton.
