        As the growing season begins to draw to a close, the appearance of our roses will naturally vary from variety to variety. Some may still arrive with buds and blooms, while others may have been pruned, deadheaded or had some of their foliage removed as we begin to prepare them for the months ahead.

        Please don’t be concerned if your rose arrives with no leaves, or without buds or blooms. This is quite natural at this time of year and helps the plant put its energy into establishing strong, healthy roots, ready to flourish when growth begins again.

        Description
        Pale peachy pink buds gradually open to form neatly cupped, cream rosettes. Each bloom has a perfect ring of waxy petals enclosing numerous smaller petals. Eventually the petals turn back to form a large, domed flower. It forms a vigorous, rounded, almost thornless shrub, its blooms nodding attractively on the branch. Named after an 8th century limestone sculptured panel, discovered in Lichfield Cathedral. David Austin, 2006.
