More information
An English rose cultivar with traits of an old garden rose. Blooms are fairly large, deeply cup-shaped even when fully open, with numerous small petals, loosely arranged. The coloring is atypical for an English rose: a blend of rich magenta, pink, and red; the outer petals fade to light purple, contrasting with the silvery reverse of the petals. The flowers are drooping, appearing singly and in small clusters on strong shoots. The shrub is branched, about 120 cm high and 90 cm wide. The fragrance changes noticeably over time: at first reminiscent of tea roses, then shifting to a combined scent of tea roses and rose oil, with woody cedar notes. Suitable for plantings with roses and perennials of other colors. Named in honor of the 400th anniversary of the birth of the poet John Milton. “Lycidas” is a short poem in the English language.
