Description

One of our most beautiful English Roses. It bears its flowers high up on wiry stems, giving it an airy profile not unlike that of herbaceous anemones (or windflowers). The blooms commence as cupped buds and open to dainty, rather informal and slightly cupped flowers of soft lilac-pink. It is remarkably disease resistant and repeat flowers well. There is a charming Old Rose fragrance, with hints of apple and cinnamon.

Behind the name

We chose to name this rose after the common name for Anemone because it holds its flowers with something of the grace and poise of the windflower.

When's the best time to plant roses?

Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.
