          Hi @Lolimac that's a bit special just love the colour,looks good enough to eat:smile:

          Southampton
          or
          Susan Ann


          Apricot or apricot blend Floribunda.
          Registration name: Southampton
          Bred by Harkness (United Kingdom, 1971).
          Introduced in United Kingdom by Harkness & Co. Ltd. in 1972 as 'Southampton'.
          Floribunda.
          Apricot or apricot blend. Strong fragrance. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.
          Height of 3' to 43" (90 to 110 cm). Width of 2' to 30" (60 to 75 cm).
          . Does not do well in warmer climates. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
          seed: Ann Elizabeth × Allgold ® (floribunda, LeGrice, 1956)
          pollen: Yellow Cushion

            Thank you Woo:blue thumb: I do remember pruning her hard back in the spring and hoping I hadn't gone too far as I've had it for well over 10 years and it had previously been neglected:redface:

            I'm sure it will look even more lovely when I give the blooms chance to open properly but I couldn't wait:doh:...

                      Good evening @Lolimac my friend just a little bit of trivia:smile:

                      'Burgundy Ice' is a sport of the popular garden variety 'Iceberg' that was discovered in a garden in Tasmania. It's a floribunda variety producing clusters of unusual dark plum-purple flowers. It grows to about 90-100cm (3-4ft)

                          Hi Lolimac,

                          Yeah it's a lovely scent, not too overpowering.
