Comment

Large strong bush.

Has its critics, but few other Bourbons can rival its bold character. Early blooms can sometimes suffer from malformation but this should not put you off. Equally good as a small climber (Suggestion - Support as climber on house wall under a window to get its perfume).

Good for Climber or Pillar rose.

Available from Apuldram Roses, Coblands Nurseries Ltd , David Austin Rose Nursery Limited, R.V. Roger Ltd and from Peter Beales Roses.
