More information
Harlow Carr introduces traits associated with old-fashioned roses into English roses. Like the old types (De Meaux Centifolia roses, Petite de Hollande), Harlow Carr bears small, almost miniature blooms of old-fashioned form: they open from small calyces into cup-shaped rosettes with a button at the centre. The colour is an even pink, and the flowers have a strong rose-oil scent. The plant is vigorous and disease resistant, forming a rounded, spreading shrub of regular outline; under the weight of the blooms, the shoots arch toward the ground. The foliage resembles that of old roses, and the young shoots are bronze. Forms a medium-sized bush.
A hardy, compact rose with wide, cup-shaped blooms of pure pink. The flowers maintain their form through to full opening. The shrub is branched and well proportioned, becomes rounded with age, and is studded with flowers from top to bottom. Young foliage is bronze, later turning green. The fragrance is intense, reminiscent of rose-oil cosmetics.
