Customer Reviews
My dear friend had this rose in her front garden after smelling it I bought add to my herbaceous border - it is truly glorious.
I have had my Lark Ascending for several years now . It is a very reliable rose with a long flowering period. The roses are an unusual and beautiful shape and I particularly like it's uprightness. It does not droop as many roses do. I have bought this rose for other family as I like it so much.
A real standout in my garden. So beautiful with the light on it. Little scent but worth it.
