Thomas à Becket (Auswinston) - Potted Rose

Thomas à Becket is a striking crimson-red; the individual flowers can best be described as shallowly cupped, opening as informal rosettes; the petals quickly reflexing as the flowers age. They are held in medium-sized heads; the individual blooms nodding attractively on the stem. They have an Old Rose fragrance with a strong lemon zest character. This is a variety of very different character from the general run of English Roses, being rather closer to the Species Roses than to the Old Roses and more natural and shrubby in growth. It forms a strong, rather informal shrub. Named for Canterbury Cathedral. Fragrance: Medium, Old Rose & Lemon scent.
