PENELOPE (Shrub Rose)
This is a large, arching shrub with vigorous, but long relaxed branches, and as with most Hybrid
Musks is pretty disease free and has very few problems.
It flowers continuously through summer and into autumn and produces a lovely show of fat
orange-pink hips in winter. The first main flush in late spring is truly wonderful . Although
Penelope flowers beautifully right through the summer until the first frosts , the later summer
blooms are not quite as prolific but are just as delightful ‘The trusses of double, medium sized
blooms are of a delicate light pink and apricot shades fading to white with age. The overall loose form of the flowers
give this bush an “old rose” type of charm.
The abundant young foliage has a beautiful copper tint which turns to glossy dark green with age.
Most Hybrid Musks are very fragrant and Penelope does not disappoint as the blooms have a strong heady musk fragrance
, which is probably why Penelope is one of the favourites in this group of roses. 'Penelope' is very versatile
and makes a fine specimen rose in the garden or an effective informal hedge. It can also be trained as a climber and
is useful for growing over walls or fences or climbing pillars. It is also one of those obliging roses that blooms even in
partial shade and is almost thornless.
AWARDS
National Rose Society Gold Medal. 1925
Royal Horticultural Society Award Of Garden Merit. 1993
Generally speaking, Hybrid Musks are very hardy, floriferous, easy on the eye and easy to maintain.
Penelope was bred in the UK by the Rev. Joseph Pemberton (1852-1926)
Pemberton was one of a long line of Anglican clergymen who were also horticulturists . He was responsible for creating
many beautiful Hybrid Musks, many of which are still available today. He tended to name many of his roses
after women, and Penelope, Felicia, Cornelia, Kathleen and Francesca are still around and as popular as ever. Other
roses bred by Pemberton which we have available are,
Buff Beauty. Danae. Moonlight. Pax. Prosperity. Robin Hood.
PENNY (Penny Lane) (Climbing Rose)
This is the first climber to be voted Rose Of The Year in the UK.
It is a significant addition to the range of repeat blooming climbers, because of the old
fashioned nature of the flowers. They are filled with ruffled, informal petals which become
larger and more beautiful as they expand. The colour is pearly blush with light apricot in
the depths of the fragrant flower. 'Penny Lane' blooms continuously through summer and
autumn on long slender shoots, usually singly, and sometimes in small clusters. The plant
has flexible stems and grows vigorously to average height or more, making it ideal for pillars,
pergolas, arches, wall and fences. The plentiful foliage is healthy, dark green and shiny with excellent disease
resistance. Fragrant. Highly Recommended.
