Flawlessly formed in shades of peachy pink. Gardeners enjoy long stem style roses produced as rapidly as floribundas. Roses are known to like full sun but we have seen this rose growing well in half shaded areas on Columbia street. Light tea rose fragrance. By gardener Brad Jalbert.

Apricot-yellow buds open to shallowly cupped, many petalled rosettes. They are a beautiful blend of subtle apricot-pink and soft yellow, giving the overall impression of apricot, with creamy outer petals. There is a superb floral myrrh fragrance, with hints of honey and Tea. It forms a short, vigorous climber. The name was inspired by the heroine of Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd.
