Rose 'Eglantyne', by David Austin. What perfect and beautiful geometry! What symetry! These are the type that I love to grow the most. Smells like a gorgeously perfumed 'granny's soap'. Of all the plants I grow in my garden, it is my roses that give more joy to me than anything else.

Hi Jonathan, I'm a real 'sucker' (pun intended !) for roses too. I've twice had the pleasure of visiting David Austin's nursery/garden and had to be dragged away both times. His roses really are superb aren't they.
