ONLY A ROSE - 2015

Good morning @Jenny namaste and thank you my friend if only you had said I would have been there as well

 

Good morning @Beckie76 my friend thank you and it got an incredible scent ,you can smell it from from 50 yards away

This is the first of Pierre Orard's roses to be enjoyed in the UK. Rather like Tom Carruth, Pierre looks not only for reliability but also for novelty.

First Great Western has a ruffled flower of lilac and magenta-mauve shades. Once captivated by the brilliance of the blooms you are then overcome by the perfume which is stunning. The plant is quite tall reaching in the region of 4 ft and has quite a loose habit. The leaves are large dark and semi glossy with strong resistance to all rose ailments.

This lovely variety was named to celebrate the launch of the Greater Western railway franchise. Monies raised from sales of the rose benefits ClIC Sargent children's charity.
