Old Rose.

| Special Characteristics |
Superb, richly coloured flowers on a very disease resistant, rounded shrub. Excellent repeat flowering. |
Without doubt, the best crimson English Rose to date. It is a truly superb variety with exquisite blooms of the richest velvety crimson, gradually changing to an equally rich purple. Deeply cupped at first, the flower soon opens out to a shallow quartered cup. The growth is neat and upright; each stem bearing a number of flowers. This rose has the strong, warm Old Rose fragrance that we expect, but do not always find, in deep red roses. Excellent disease resistance. We have planted a large bed of William Shakespeare and a mixed border of English and Old Roses at Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare himself has been voted 'Man of the Millennium'.
