More information
The Reeve takes its name from a character in The Canterbury Tales. Pale crimson buds open to pink blooms that fade to pale pink. The influence of one parent, Constance Spry, is evident in the globular flower form. They later develop into more cup-shaped blooms, with numerous wavy petals curling toward the center, reminiscent of Centifolia roses. Flowers are produced in dense, drooping clusters of 3–7. The foliage is dark green; the shrub is spreading, with long, flexible shoots dotted with small red thorns. Susceptible to powdery mildew.
The flowers are dark pink. They are very double, with almost 60 petals, appearing sometimes singly and sometimes in small clusters. Buds and newly opened blooms are globular with inward-curling petals; once fully open they become cup-shaped, peony-like. Has fragrance, and flowering continues through summer and autumn. With a spreading habit and pliant shoots, the variety is suitable for a loose group in a mixed border, or it can be trained along a wall as a climbing rose. About half the height of an average shrub; the bush has an irregular outline. The shoots are prickly, with fine, stiff, dark foliage. Young growth is red.
