Named after the flagship of Henry VIII which was raised from the Solent River 400 years after it sank, the "Mary Rose" is a slightly fragrant rose that can self-shed its petals in the garden making
it a popular garden rose, but not good for picking for the vase. An Austin rose, bred in the U.K. and released in 1983, parent of two other Austin roses, "Winchester Cathedral" and "Redoute".
