A delightful many-petalled rose with a gorgeous
fragrance. Less petals in our summer than spring,
probably because forced by our heat to open early.
Likes its own space, mine took a few years to
settle into the garden.
Bred in France,

The Dark Lady
AKA "Dark Lady"
Borne in small clusters the blooms are quite fragrant and the
weight of the blooms often bends the canes into an arching shape.

Tipsy Imperial Concubine
This old rose has a fascinating name.
It's a new arrival in my garden and this is the very first
rosebud - no fault of the rose, the poor thing got burnt by
Dick not measuring the wetting agent when he sprayed
the roses with fungicide back in our spring. I'm
very pleased with its recovery and looking forward
to seeing this bud open.
