Bow bells

Bow bells, Austin, 1991

English rose 

Chaucer X Conrad Ferdinand Meyer X Graham Thomas

Yes, Bow bells has very cupped, bell like flowers in a pretty pink color. They show their golden stamen and stand in clusters. Vigorous growth 130X100 cm or 4X3 feet. Arching growth so the flowers really make a bow towards us. Mild fragrance. Blooms freely all summer long Zone 5b to 9b. Sadly she is susceptible to Blackspot and mildew although of course not always. She does a lot better in more drier climates. A beautiful rose and discarded way too soon by Austin.
