In June, I posted a picture of a new David Austin rose, Sir John Betjamin. I saw the almost-real thing at Hampton Court this year and took this photo. I say almost-real because it was in the display and not in my own garden. But I can't wait to try it. Look at all the shades of crimson, pink, cerise, and cherry on those little curvy scallop petals.
I wasn't at Chelsea this year, but if I had been there I'm sure this rose would have caught my eye. A new introduction from David Austin, Sir John Betjamin. Scrumptious.
Is there anything to change about this rose? A David Austin rose, Abraham Darby. Vigorous, apricot-pink and yellow colours. Fragrant with a fresh, tropical fruit, ever-so-slightly citrus scent. I love it, that's all there is to say.
