    Gertrude Jekyll. I ordered this for myself and also one for a friend's 60th. The flower is gorgeous and the perfume is so strong! I had 'Grace' at my back door but the point was perfume and Grace didn't have much so I ordered this to replace it. The whole point was to smell it as I go in and out. This is wonderful. One of David Austin's climbing English roses. It climbs to 8 feet and produces lots of flowers from the bottom too.

    How very true Freddy. This however bowled me over with the strength of the perfume. I always feel compelled to take cuttings from the ones I buy. They root so easily. I also nick cuttings everywhere.:hehe:
