More information
Evelyn is a large-flowered English rose. The cultivar shows considerable variation in bloom form and color. Typically the palette is a blend of apricot and yellow with a slight pink cast; at times, especially toward autumn, it can shift toward near‑pink. Flower form likewise varies—sometimes a broad, very open cup with petal edges curling, at other times closer to a rosette. Evelyn belongs to the same breeding line as Jayne Austin and Sweet Juliet and resembles them in several respects, yet it is shorter, flowers more freely, and forms a less bulky bush. It is regarded as among the more strongly scented English Roses.
This rose is among the more widely publicized David Austin introductions. The blooms are apricot with a fruity scent. In heat the color shifts more toward pink, and in bright sun it quickly fades to white; under milder conditions the flowers retain the expected tones. The most fully developed blooms appear at the beginning of the first flush; some reach 16–18 cm across. Later flushes tend to produce flowers that are less double and more pink.
Reports from growers vary regarding color, fragrance strength, bush form, and overall impression. Evelyn produces densely waved flowers 8–12 cm in diameter that open cup-shaped and then flatten to rosettes. The color is usually a mixture of apricot and yellow, though it can lean more pink depending on weather. Fragrance is described from faint to intense, often noted as a pink‑fruity scent. Flowering is heavy in early summer; repeat bloom may be weak or profuse. Shoots are upright but may droop. In cold climates it forms an upright shrub 90–100 cm tall; in warm climates the shrub is larger and more lax, 120–150 cm. Disease resistance is average; preventive treatments are recommended.
