Lady Emma Hamilton

David Austin English Rose
A variety of rather unusual colouring for an English Rose, but nonetheless very pleasing and useful for creating a little excitement in the border. Before the flowers even begin to open, the outside of the buds are a most wonderful dark red with dashes of orange. When fully open the flowers are a lovely mixture of rich, almost tangerine orange on the inside of the petals and a more yellow orange on the outside; the whole set off against the very dark, bronzy green leaves that only slowly become dark green with age.
It is a fairly upright but bushy shrub of medium height, that will flower freely and remain healthy.
The flowers have a strong, delicious, fruity fragrance which - it has been suggested - has hints of pear, grape and citrus fruits.
