Belle story

Belle story, Austin 1984

English rose 

Chaucer X Iceberg (Schneewittchen) 

Belle story makes you happy, her orange/pink double flat flowers show their big golden stamen which has this joyful, lush feeling. Loved by pollinators and flowering very freely Belle story shows that David Austin had much more variation in his roses than now. He wasn't afraid of releasing roses with non old rose flowers and people loved them! Belle story reaches 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet. Slender upright, almost thornless, Iceberg like growth with flowers appearing non stop. They have a strong sweet anise fragrance. Health is very good and she has zone 5b to 9b.
Although Belle Story has disappeared from the catalog since the mid nineties it has retained many followers. So many rose lovers adore this little sweet rose. And can you blame them?
