The Wedgwood Rose
The individual flowers of this rose are among the most beautiful we have ever bred.
This variety is also, insofar as we can tell, almost completely free of disease – something that can be said of only a very few roses.
The blooms are of medium to large size and have petals of a delicate, almost gossamer-like quality; the colour being a soft rose pink – all this adding up to a charming Old Rose effect. They have a lovely fruity fragrance on the outer petals, with a clove-like scent at the centre.
The growth is exceptionally vigorous, sending up many shoots from the base and forming a large, rampant shrub. We expect this rose to also be even better when grown as a climber. Its ample foliage is dark green and glossy.
It was named for Wedgwood, who are celebrating their 250th anniversary this year. Josiah Wedgwood, the ‘Father of English Potters’, founded the company in 1759.
5 x 5ft or 10ft as a climber.
