Customer Reviews
What more can be said about this rose, the standard is set with this quality rose from David Austin, vigorous, heavily scented, disease resistant and a joy. Will give us roses for months to come!
3rd year on my trellis paired either Francis E Lester.
What more can I say, it’s healthy, it’s flowering already and the fragrance as soon as I open my garden patio door is heavenly. I love it,
First bloom of my first DA short climbing rose, bought from potted earlier this year. Really impressed! So looking forward to discover how it grows
I am so pleased with my Gertrude Jekyll - purchased last year as a bare root, she has settled in and grown prolific flowers this year - I planted on a back fence with views from my kitchen window and she makes me smile every time I see her.. the scent is absolutely amazing too. The only problem you will have is keeping up with the deadheading and finding them as so many more flowers produce and grow over the top! Even in the pouring rain we are having this week, she shines bright. My photo is from first flowers and she has tonnes more since this was taken.
Lovely rose and smells devine!
