I was wondering if anyone has a picture of this climber as a mature rose in it's glory? They had a batch on sale locally and the scent was gorgeous when I walked past. So the sucker I am for Roses went and bought one. It was bred in 2000 and given to the late Queen mother and apparently graces a wall at Sandringham in Norfolk but a quick google didn't come up with much.

Thanks for that WOO that's an accurate description. Would say though the blooms are on average two and a half inches in diameter so not really large flowered. It's in the ground now and hopefully it will take to it's new home. Here she is..
