More information

Portmeirion produces medium-sized pink flowers of regular form. The petal edges are slightly curved. Strong rose-oil fragrance. Forms a low, rounded shrub. Some susceptibility to black spot.

A cultivar with slightly larger-than-average flowers. The plant is low, wide, and well-branched; often used at the front edge of borders or in small gardens. Also used in flowerbeds.

Portmeirion blossoms are slightly cupped rosettes. When open they are dark pink, with slightly paler petal undersides, fading to pink. A white central spot is common, with a cluster of golden stamens visible at full opening. Blooms occur singly or in clusters of up to 7 on long, drooping, spiny shoots. Flowers may nod on weak pedicels. The shrub has an upright habit. Foliage is large, green, and sparse. Powdery mildew may appear at the end of the season. Considered a low rose not exceeding 1 m in height, but in Austin’s garden it reaches 1.75 m, and even higher in hot climates.
