Special Characteristics |
Excellent
repeat flowering. Delicious fragrance |
Giant and
globular, clear pink flowers - almost like peonies. These are never clumsy and
are nicely held on a substantial shrub, with flowers, leaves and growth all in
proportion. Later blooms may be a little smaller. There is a particularly strong
and rich Old Rose fragrance, similar to some of the Old Bourbon Roses. Named
after Ellis Peters' hero of her medieval detective stories, which are set in the
same area as our nursery. 5 ft. X 4 ft. (8 ft. as climber)
