Our rose expert’s recommendation
Shropshire Lass
Wild Rose
One of our tallest English climbers. Its large, single, blush white flowers gradually fade to white. They have a delicious myrrh fragrance. Even though it does not repeat, it produces a magnificent display in early summer and bears many hips in autumn. David?Austin, 1968.
