Sweet Juliet

Sweet Juliet, Austin 1989

English rose 

Graham Thomas X Admired Miranda 

An early variety with gorgeous apricot, very full blooms, starting as orange buds. They stand mostly in clusters and exude a strong uplifting fragrance. Graham Thomas is a great dad, just like Charles Austin. Graham Thomas has Iceberg or Schneewittchen as a parent which explains its strength.
Sweet Julliet makes a rounded shrub 150X100 cm or 5X3 feet. Blooms in flushes throughout the season and health is quite good but Blackspot can occur. Hardy with 5b to 9b
The early English roses, in my opinion, were stronger and more healthy than those from the past 15 years.
If you can buy Sweet Juliet, don't hesitate.
