More information
This rose produces large clusters of small, deeply calyx-shaped flowers; each eventually slightly shows a midrib with a cluster of stamens. The buds, initially mid-pink with a lilac-pink tinge, pale as they open, and the individual petals are edged with carmine. Borne above the foliage, the flowers nod on gently curving shoots and have a fruity fragrance. It forms a dense shrub with glossy foliage.
The rose is named after a novel by George Eliot (the male pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans), first published in 1860. The story centres on Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom. As she grows up, Maggie tries to reconcile Tom’s bourgeois standards and the provincial attitudes of the society in which she lives with her own desires.
