        Description
        A beautiful rose; the blooms are a particularly rich shade of apricot-orange, paling prettily towards the edges. The striking, red-tipped buds gradually open to reveal large, informal rosettes, each with ruffled petals and a button eye. They are very resistant to rain damage and the petals drop neatly. There is a light-medium Tea scent. A very healthy shrub; it produces strong, arching stems which, over time, form an attractive mound of blooms. Named after one of Britain’s most beloved stars of stage and screen. David Austin, 2017.

          Gorgeous rich colour

          This is such a beautiful colour, and the colour doesn't fade or change at all as the blooms age. Each rose flower is a beautiful shape and I feel that the description is correct in saying the the blooms have a very good resistance to rain. It stood out at the David Austin gardens as being one of the most vivid peach/oranges. Gorgeous!
