Rose

A beautiful, medium-size rose which doesn't need any pampering. It has plenty of twiggy growth and deep pink flowers which not only start opening much earlier than those on any other rose, but keep going right through summer. Grow it to the front of a border where it can be clearly seen, and where you can bend down and inhale the superb scent. Another big plus is that it's completely disease-free and never needs spraying against the likes of black spot.
