Brother Cadfael
Giant and globular, clear pink flowers - almost like peonies. These are never clumsy and are nicely held on a substantial shrub, with flowers, leaves and growth all in proportion. Later blooms may be a little smaller.
There is a particularly strong and rich Old Rose fragrance, similiar to some of the Old Bourbon Roses.
Named after the medieval hero in the Ellis Peters detective stories, which are set in the same area as our nursery.
In warmer areas the growth can be a little exuberant and so would benefit from summer pruning.
