More information
This rose bears quite large, cup-shaped blooms that can become flatter in unfavorable conditions, delicate pink in color. The blooms are not perfectly symmetrical; small petals in the center curve inward. The fragrance is typically strong, with myrrh-and-rose notes. The shrub is vigorous, and the long shoots are studded with flowers.
Kathryn Morley is an Austin rose cultivar. The flowers are pure pink—paler at the edges and darker in the center, with brighter coloration on the underside of the petals. The blooms are slightly cup-shaped, densely-margined, sometimes with a button in the center and flattened; at other times they form a mass of wavy, interlacing petals around the stamens. The bloom can appear translucent, with soft coloration. They appear on long shoots in small, loose sprays, shaded by dark foliage. The shoots are long, arching, and dotted with large spines. In warm, dry climates it is disease resistant (powdery mildew can be a problem in cold and damp conditions), and reaches 2 m, about twice the height it reaches in its native England. Re-flowering occurs in waves every three to four weeks throughout the season. The naming rights to this rose were auctioned: the purchasers named the rose after their daughter, who died at the age of 18.
