Gertrude Jekyll Rose
David Austin English Roses
The Gertrude Jekyll rose, one of the best creations by David Austin English Roses and one of the finest
pink rose flowers.
And the flowers are equally divine to look at. I personally think 'Gertrude Jekyll' rose is the most fragrant of all roses. The scent is so strong that when I enter my patio where it's growing I immediately am engulfed in this lovely rose parfume. And when I bring some cut flowers from this rose into my house, I usually put a vase of these roses on my coffe table in the livingroom, the roses perfume the whole room.
The flowering period is continuous through early summer and fall. The bush is tall, strong, well foilaged and healthy, and can be grown as a shrub-climber. In warmer climates it grows much taller and is actually best treated as a climber.
Gertrude Jekyll Climbing On A Lovely Garden Support'Gertrud Jekyll' would be a perfect small climbing rose for areas that short on space. I grow mine in large container with an inserted trellis on my patio. I adore the fragrant pink flowers and I want them close up so everyone can enjoy the scent and the beautiful flowers. The rose bears the famous name of Miss Jekyll (1843-1932). Her writings and gardening applications had great influence on garden design, especially in the grouping of plants, for color effect. Zones 4-9. height 4-5 feet or taller as a climber. For information about purchasing the 'Gertrude Jekyll' Rose, just click on the high lighted product link below.
