SC157 - Post 27 July - Flowers

Growing in our front garden are 2 of these vigorous old garden rambler roses, about 3m tall, with lightish green foliage and few thorns. Clusters of small, sweetly fragrant, double, creamy to pale yellow blooms open to reveal golden stamens, and are produced quite late in summer, repeat-flowering well into autumn. The fragrance is heavenly, but the roses are really too big for our garden. I prune them down hard every year.

It is also known as Rosa 'Autumnalis', or Rosa moschata 'Autumnalis'

Sorry about this late posting. Adrian has had a cataract operation today, and I am the designated driver over the next few weeks, as well as encouraging him not to do anything strenuous.
