More information
An English rose with red petals carrying an orange tinge. The flowers are deeply cup-shaped at first and gradually open into an open, slightly cupped rosette. Benjamin Britten is used to create contrast with the more delicate colours of other English roses. Overall height is medium; the shrub shows a strong, branched, evenly structured habit. The fragrance is strong and fruity, with notes of wine and pear.
The variety develops a branched shrub with lax, thin, intertwining shoots and fine, light green foliage. The blooms are light, densely margined, medium-sized, and usually present a button at the centre. The colour is a blend of orange and red, and the flowers are used in cut flower arrangements. Flowering is not very profuse; the cultivar is grown mainly for its colouring.
According to many reviews, the variety reaches up to 2 m.
