Rose Pink.
Shades of pink that contrast well with other roses and look particlarly attractive when planted alongside herbaceous salvias or underplanted with violas and Campanula carpatica.
"Brother Cadfael": Beautifully formed peony-like blooms in a shade reminisent of the floribunda "Queen Elizabeth." Richly fragrant and 4 ft tall.
"Mary Rose": An older variety but one of the best. Beautifully informal loose petals that flutter in the breeze. A gorgeous old-fashioned scent on one of the first and last bloomers.
The variety started my love affair with the English rose. 4 ft tall.
"Gertrude Jekyll": When I first grew this warm pink variety, I was amazed that such large blooms could develop from such small buds.The perfume is absolutely gorgeous. Apparently this is not just my opinion as this variety is now being grown to produce rose essence, a fact that only confirms the quality of the fragrance. 5 ft tall.
"Redoute": A natural sport of "Mary Rose"and similar in every respect, except colour,which is a softer, more delicate pink
