More information
David Austin variety. Blooms are soft apricot, flat rosettes borne in small clusters. The color is warmer and more saturated at the center, fading to cream toward the outer petals. Pronounced fruity fragrance. Foliage dark green and leathery, with susceptibility to fungal diseases in unfavorable years. Bushes are dense and moderately prickly. Repeat-flowering with abundant displays; blooms show minimal rain damage.
Bredon produces densely clustered, flat flowers with wavy petals. Numerous small petals are imbricated in a regular pattern. The centers are peach, paling through lemon and cream to white at the edges. The petals themselves are cream, with color contributed by the petal reverse, creating internal gradations of hue. Inflorescences of 3–9 on a loose, prickly shrub with dark green foliage. Remove spent blooms, not to improve reblooming, but because the withered petals persist and do not drop. Powdery mildew can occur.
