"The Dark Lady"

At home in the rose garden.

One of the most difficult of the deep crimson reds to get the colour right... one needs
to choose an overcast day, but even then the photo might not come out right as
far as the difficult colour is to interpret. It is a large bloom with lots of
petals and very pretty in full bloom. Quite fragrant, the bush is average height
in our climate, and tends to sprawl in the early years until the shape settles
down into a neat rounded shrub. I think it is my favourite red by Austin, though
"Prospero" runs a very close second. Bred in the UK and released in 1991.

Tis lovely! I understand about photographing the color. I had a Vincent Godsiff rose that I can't seem to photograph the true color. It is rather neon colored and ends up glowing in pictures, except those taken in very dark shade. V
