This particular rose seems to save all its main flowering until the temperature drops, or perhaps its because when the days are warm all the other roses take my eye. This is a delightful big blowsy shrub that's now in its 17th year and got to quite a size (close to 3 x 3 metres). The fresh new growth is a pretty russet colour which looks great against the pale safron shades of the bloom. I had to pan this rose, the wind was still very strong this morning.
