Fraser Valley Rose Farm

Not all English Roses wear the same lavish ballgown of layers of petals. ‘Peach Blossom’, introduced by David Austin in 1990, is delicate, ephemeral, and wildly romantic. With just 6 to 16 petals, each semi-double bloom looks like it drifted in from the orchard, and the next gust of wind could have the blush pink curls cascading to the ground. Whilst it has the airy charm of a wildflower, its blooms stay longer and repeat, like we’ve come to expect in an Austin shrub. The arching stems add movement, as do the occasional quilled pedal that quivers in the breeze. They will provide hips in the autumn if you limit your pruning late in the season. The fragrance is mild and fruity with a hint of musk, and is best appreciated if you linger around the flower for some time, so plant them on or near a terrace, and spend some time getting to know them. These tender blossoms remind us to appreciate subtlety in our gardens, although the clusters put on a display that will not go unnoticed.

Gorgeous! The visible stamens look like a beautiful crown inside the lovely petals. Sometimes less, is definitely more.

You should seriously become a writer. Your way of describing a rose i can see you describing a scene from a long ago tale. Love the photos. 😊 I adore roses but not very good at growing them. I keep trying though

Beautiful, simple rose. Photos 1 and 3 look quite similar to the Dog Wood tree flowers, with extra frills. Of course the pedals don't have the markings, but the color is very reminiscent.

Lovely!! I need (heh, “need”) a rose for a container so: part shade, 3’x3’ max, fragrant (of course), repeat/cont flowering. Thoughts? Would Rose de Rescht work?
