The Lady Gardener Rose: First English Old Rose with Apricot Flowers, Strong Tea Cedar Vanilla Fragrance

The Lady Gardener Rose

The Lady Gardener is a particularly interesting rose as the first in the English Old Rose group with apricot flowers. The large 4-inch blooms are a beautiful shade of rich pure apricot that pales towards the outside. They are of a rosette shape, very full petalled with a large button eye that gradually opens; petals loosely arranged in a quartered formation. An excellent garden plant that repeats quickly, stands up to rain, and stays very healthy. There is a particularly lovely and strong tea fragrance with hints of cedar wood and vanilla. It reaches 3½ feet tall and 2½ feet wide. Named to raise awareness for Plant Heritage. This rose prefers full sun and moderate moisture.
