More information
Rose with an unusual hue, intermediate between cherry and raspberry. The colour varies markedly with the weather, intensifying on hot sunny days in summer. The flower is cup-shaped, with the outer petals later bending downwards. The bush is erect and strong-growing; the foliage is large, dark green.
Sir Edward Elgar bears bright cherry-pink flowers at first, fading to lilac-pink, with pale pink petal edges. The blooms are slightly cup-shaped, densely petalled. Later, the outer petals bend downwards and the flower becomes pompon-like. They appear singly, sometimes up to 2–3 together, and it repeat-flowers abundantly. The shoots are dotted with small thorns; the bush is erect; the foliage is slightly wrinkled. In hot climates it reaches 1.5 m in height and width.
