More information

This rose can be grown as a shrub or a climber. It is named in honour of a pilot who served in the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. It bears densely ruffled, deep red, old-style blooms. Robert Harkness gives the rose a 9 out of 10 fragrance score in his catalogue.

The rose smells like the wine for which it is named. Both the colour and the fragrance align with wine. The scent is intensely raspberry, with notes of strawberry, lavender, and violet. The petals are wavy, pink‑ruby in colour; the bush is well branched with an open centre; flowers appear on long shoots. A strong, disease‑resistant variety suitable for planting in a mixborder if there is enough space.
