English Shrub Rose. 2006. 4ft.
David Austin English Roses
The rich apricot flowers are of an informal rosette shape and nicely
quartered, each with a button eye. It forma a large, bushy shrub that
is almost completely without thorns and is particularly healthy.
Usually the fragrance is a lovely mix of Tea with myrrh and fruit, although
sometimes it is almost pure citrus.
Named for the last and finest sailing ships, to mark the centenary of
the death Fredrick Horniman, whose collection of fascinating objects
from around the world is housed in the Horniman Museum.
TEASING GEORGIA (Ausbaker)
English Shrub/Climbing Rose. 1998. 5ft plus
A yellow rose of great beauty and value.
The flowers are particularly attractive with the central petals in the
form of a rich, deep yellow cup and the outer petals falling back and
fading to palest yellow.
A lovely medium to strong Tea Rose fragrance.
Altogether a most reliable and excellent variety that is hardy, extremely
healthy and repeat flowers well. A very refined rose.
It can also be grown as a first class short climber which will climb to
about 8ft and also grow on a North wall.
Shade tolerant.
Named for Mr.Ulrich Meyer, after his wife Georgia.
Winner in 2000 of the Henry Edland Medal for the Best Scented Variety in the RNRS trials. Also
won the best variety at the Pencoed Trials in South Wales where the roses are never sprayed.
TESS OF THE D’URBURVILLES (Ausmove)
English Shrub/Climbing Rose. 1998. 4ft-5ft
Large fragrant flowers of bright crimson colouring.
They are of a nice, deeply cupped shape in the early stages; the
petals turning back to give a less formal but still attractive
flower.
Healthy dark green foliage.
It has a lovely Old Rose fragrance.
It can also be grown as a short climber and will probably reach
8 or 9ft.
Very useful as it can also tolerate a North wall situation.
Named after the character from Thomas Hardy's novel.
