    I think this is my favourite one so far. The colour is beautiful. I need to Google and find out more about it!

        I first fell in love with this one on Hilliers stand at Chelsea in the '70s Fern. Longed to have it ever since then and found it at the local rose nursery in France ten years ago :)

        Thanks for all that info Woo! As you can see I broke my pre1900 rule ;)
        It's so worth it! Everyone asks the name of this rose :smile:. She has such beautiful dark red new growth too, which sets the flower colour off to perfection :wub2:
