More information
David Austin noted Emanuel’s susceptibility to black spot and drew attention to this trait in his remarks. Black spot is not a problem everywhere: Emanuel can be safely grown without constant preventive measures in the USA, Australia, South Africa and the Mediterranean. The blooms are large, flat rosettes of apricot-pink colour, with a noticeable fragrance. The colouring is variable—brighter in cold weather and pinker in hot weather—because the yellow pigment that gives the flowers an apricot tone burns out quickly in bright sun. Flowers are borne in dense clusters and show a drooping habit. They appear one, two or three at a time; if a shoot is bent parallel to the ground, flowers will develop from each bud. The shrub is dense, well-branched and spiny, with dense dark green foliage.
