Gertrude Jakyll
Description
Gertrude Jekyll is a quintessential English rose, beloved for its glowing rich-pink rosettes and exceptionally powerful Old Rose fragrance. The blooms begin as beautifully scrolled buds before opening into full, quartered flowers with classic old-fashioned character. Vigorous and repeat flowering, it can make a striking shrub or be trained where its growth allows. Plant it near a path, porch, or seating area where its celebrated fragrance can be fully appreciated.
