Brother Cadfael, English Rose by David Austin

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)
