        Truly Special

        The centrepiece of my garden, I love this rose. As for repeat flowering - this year I have lost count - it just gives and gives.

        My Favourite rose

        I’ve had this rose bush for many years. It never fails to give beautiful blooms and the best fragrance., despite my not being the best gardener.

        An Absolute Stunner of a Rose

        I adore this gorgeous rose. Gorgeous blooms held aloft of glossy green foliage, the most beautiful pink and so reliable. I think this will be one of my all time favourites.

        The Very Best

        I already have an Eglantyne rose in my front garden and am just buying another for the back.
        It is a beautiful shade of pale pink and has the sharpest, strongest fragrance I have ever found in any flower - rose or otherwise.
        It's gorgeous!
