A Note from Our Rose Experts
Due to popular demand, we are offering a limited number of this classic rose, available exclusively online.
As part of our commitment to transparency with our customers, we want to be clear about its performance. While cherished for its unique character, this variety does not offer the same level of disease resistance or vigorous repeat-flowering found in our more modern introductions.
For this reason, we ask that you please think carefully before buying to ensure it is the right choice for your garden. We encourage you to explore our newer, more resilient varieties, which have been bred for exceptional all-round garden performance.
