Features

notes

Rosa Silas Marner's buds are borne on red-tinged stems and unfurl into shallow pale pink cup-shape blooms with button eyes. In a border, the impact of this remarkable rose is heightened by its medium old rose fragrance.

Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.

Insights
