When I visited the "David Austin Roses" booth at the Philadelphia Flower Show this spring I treated myself to two new roses.
This first soft pink beauty is an English Rose called "Eglantyne." It is named after Eglantyne Jebb, the woman who founded the 'Save The Children Fund.' The blooms are large and have a sweet Old Rose scent.
I almost didn't purchase the second rose here, "Carding Mill." In photos it looked quite orange but I was assured the blooms were apricot. 'Apricot' doesn't begin to describe the beautiful blend of pink, yellow and apricot that make up the color of this flower. And it has that wonderful Myhrr fragrance.
