St Ethelburga

St Ethelburga, Amanda Beales 2003

Modern Hybrid 

Mme Boll (Comte de Chambord) X Aloha 

Sometimes a modern rose appears that will take your breath away. St Ethelburga is such a rose. With these parents you know that the result will be spectacular. 

Forget the David Austin roses of the past 15 years and look at St Ethelburga. The most beautiful soft pink, very full, old fashioned blooms in small clusters. A very strong delicious clove fragrance is present. Perfect height, 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet, a bit taller as a small climber against a trellis or fence. Continues blooming throughout the season and very good health. It's quite sad that this rose isn't available in the EU but she is in the USA and in the UK of course. Maybe we'll see her appearing in the future. Zone 5b to 9b

Her ancestors include: Baronne Prevost, New Dawn, Safrano, Dr W van fleet and Souvenir de Président Carnot
