English rose collection, bred by David Austin, Medium shurb/short climber
hardy
strong scent - tea and myrrh
very full flowers repeating - good.
an excellent pure yellow rose, that combines unusually storng and healthy growth with bloom of the utmost delicacy and charm. thes are quite large and evenly shaped, with many small petals opening to form a flat flower. they have a softness of texture which is most pleasing, and look particularly fine when arranged in a bowl.

4ft x3ft
arrived mid december 2007 - during heavy frost, i have planted it with special root stuff inbetween pineapple lily and Osteospurnum along right hand bed before the woodland area. the ground was pretty frozen (about an inch down) so i pored some warm water over the area where it was planted, so fingers crossed it will take ok.
