More information
Chaucer is a repeat-flowering shrub rose derived from two once-blooming parents, illustrating that a recessive gene may remain latent for several generations. Its blooms are large, cup-shaped, densely petalled, soft pink with a warm tone, showing darker reverses and paler tips. The centre may expose stamens or form a button eye. Flowers are borne on long shoots in clusters of 3-7, with heavy flowering continuing until late autumn. Foliage emerges bronze-green, later turning light green; leaves are large and highly susceptible to powdery mildew. The shrub is vigorous and carries a pronounced spicy myrrh fragrance, with flowers conforming to the above characteristics.
