One of the most widely grown English Roses and it is not difficult to see why. It forms a good bushy shrub, that is particularly winter-hardy and blooms with unusual regularity throughout the summer.

The flowers are of attractive, loose-petalled formation and of strong rose pink coloring. A first class garden shrub that mixes well with other plants.

The delicious fragrance is of Old Rose character, with a hint of honey and almond blossom.

It was named after Henry VIII’s flagship when it was recovered from the Solent after more than four hundred years.
