Evelyn

Evelyn

an English rose by David Austin

This rose produces gorgeous large peach colored flowers which start out cupped and end up as a rosette. Unfortunately they fade quickly to white in the Colorado sun. Sometimes the color is closer to pink than peach. It is a vigorous grower and a reasonably good repeater, although not nearly as good as Mary Rose. It produces many canes that reach about 5 feet tall. The scent doesn't match the Crabtree and Evelyn perfume exactly, even though I understand it is supposed to. To me, it more closely resembles the scent of ripe peaches mixed with Tea rose.

My bush is the only grafted English rose I own and was planted the spring of 1995. We'll see how well it does through a Colorado winter.

Here is a picture of Evelyn showing a bloom cycle.

And here is a typical full open bloom.
