    I bought "Prosperity" for my dad's birthday and he asked if I could find a rose with a good health type of name. The closest I could find was "Tottering by Gently" although I'd like something a little more specific to health if there is such a beast. It needs to be a shrub rose as there's nowhere suitable for a climber/rambler.

    Hello @Februarysgirl , if you go to any of the rose growers website (Peter Beales, Harkness or David Austin (I'm sure the others can suggest more) and put in 'good health' in search box, you should be able to find some and see the pictures too.

    Style roses have a lot with names more suitable for different occasions. @Mrs Hillard introduced me to this company, which will have an impact on my finances in the autumn as a number have taken my fancy!

      Tottering by Gently is a lovely rose, lots of flowers constantly and a lovely gentle scent, also ver6 good large orange hips if you stop deadheading late in the season
