          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. The name is taken from one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poems to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth. David Austin, 2009.

            Fabulous Lady of Shalott

            My Lady of Shalott rose is particularly wonderful this year because I reduced the height of a hedge on the opposite side of the drive (which at 20ft was cutting down on the amount of sunshine that my roses got). It's only 1st June now and it looks great already and is covered in buds. See pics

            I had one exquisite flower on this rose during its first season; its scent was heavenly! Hoping it'll flower more profusely this summer. Thanks.

            My rose has not yet had a full year of growth so I am unable to give a meaningful review. It appears to be thriving and should soon be budding.
