"Miss Alice"

At home in the rose garden.

A charming rose of true Old Rose character. The growth is quite short, but bushy. The flowers are some three and a half inches across and of a lovely soft pink at first; the outer petals turning to a pale pink, which gradually spreads over the whole flower as it ages.
An excellent rose for bedding or for a position towards the front of a mixed border. It has a lovely rounded Old Rose fragrance, with additional hints of Lily of the Valley. Named after Miss Alice de Rothschild, who created a beautiful garden at Waddesdon Manor.
(Notes from the Austin website)

My comments.
A tiny bush, mine hasn't thrived at all even though its been growing in
my rose garden for at least 5 years. The blooms are exquisite, so it is
staying there, perhaps it will improve in time. I bought this one because
my Mum's name is Alice. :)

A very pretty bloom. I hope it improves with time, but I've had bad luck when they don't establish after 3 years. V

Superb presentation of this beautiful rose! V

Given the large surface area of the petals, so well displayed here, I think it pines for the cooler climes of the Old Country where the heat doesn't wrap around it and suck out its vital fluids for 3 or 4 months of the year.
