        Description
        Rich orange-red buds open to chalice-shaped blooms, filled with loosely arranged, orange petals. The surrounding outer petals are salmon-pink with beautifully contrasting golden-yellow undersides. There is a pleasant, warm Tea fragrance, with hints of spiced apple and cloves. It quickly forms a bushy shrub with slightly arching stems and mid-green leaves, which have attractive, slightly bronzed tones when young.

          Gorgeous rich colour

          This rose has stood out to me visiting gardens in London, Scotland and the David Austin gardens in Shropshire. The colour is amazing - a deep orange with shades of deep reddish pink in the buds and around the outer petals of the new flowers - it is just gorgeous! I don't use any spray and it is lovely and healthy. Looks stunning next to my Gabriel Oak; and with Hyde Hall on the other side my new little rose area is an absolute picture and just full of blossom and healthy leaf growth.
