More information
St. Cecilia is an English rose, reaching no more than 1 metre in height in England, and about twice that in hot climates. The blooms are pale pearl pink or cream, with a creamy yellow tone in the centre; the colour may range from pale apricot to pure white, depending on season and stage of bloom. Flowers are cup-shaped, with a swirling centre contrasting with flatter outer petals. They are usually borne singly, sometimes two or three together, on weak pedicels, so the flowers droop. Long shoots are suitable for cutting. Shoots bear many small brown spines; the foliage is dark green and not very dense. The bush is branched. Needs protection from rust and powdery mildew.
Plum-coloured buds open to deep, cup-shaped flowers of soft pink or apricot, fading to cream, with a strong myrrh scent. They appear singly or in small clusters of 3-12 among small, matte foliage. Requires prevention of powdery mildew and rust.
