  • I took the liberty to add a couple of photos I took of the rose bush, they were taken in Oct and the plant blooms in April however.
  • Obviously a spectacular rose. Not the world's largest. The largest rose in England is said to be the Kiftsgate Rose. "when it was last measured it was 80 feet x 90 feet x 50 feet high" and surely there are larger specimens elsewhere in the wild. The Kiftsgate Rose is "severely cut back from the beech hedge and path."
