The growth is not tall, but broad and bushy - just what is needed for the front of a border and for smaller gardens. It would, if required, make a good bedding rose.Scarborough Fair
Description: Impressive large rose. This rose has a modest beauty. It is one of a group of varieties like Corvedale’ and ‘Windflower’, that is descended from the old Alba Roses. These roses have much of the simple charm of the Albas as well as their hardiness, but repeat-flower with remarkable regularity.The petals in the bud curl around to form a ball, which opens to a perfect little cupped flower of pure soft pink; eventually opening wide to reveal a blush pink flower of the utmost delicacy; displaying a bunch of golden stamens. Charming at all stages.
