From a seedling in a garden in Stanwell, Middlesex, England, this one has THE quintessential rose fragrance. Like rosewater; like rose incense; like ROSE! Medium-sized soft pink double blossoms open continuously over several months seeming to get richer in color as the season progresses. If you're lucky, it can produce flowers up until December! Full and arching, it's tolerant of all kinds of conditions including part shade. It's uncomplaining and always generous. A favorite of the Victorians, the Edwardians, and Gertrude Jekyll, herself! In 1994 Graham Stuart Thomas called it a "most treasured possession." Include yourself in this long line of connoisseurs. Its forté is the scent, so no need for showy rose hips, and that's good because it doesn't have any. Who cares with performance like that!

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
