More information
Resembling old roses in both color and foliage. Cup-shaped blooms of pure pink with a lighter reverse. Strong-growing, upright shrub. Light rose-oil fragrance with fruity notes.
In many respects, ‘Mayor of Casterbridge’ is similar to its progenitor, ‘Louise Odier’. The flowers are very double, cup-shaped, pink, with recurved petals that are slightly paler on the underside. They appear singly or in small clusters on short shoots, typically 2–3 per shoot. The canes are long and thorny; the bush is rigid, upright, and susceptible to black spot. The plant often produces long shoots that flower only at the tip; when bent down or trained horizontally, these shoots flower along their full length. Repeat flowering is more abundant than in many English roses. In hot climates it reaches 2.5 metres.
