Hello Fozzie,
Hope you see this. I've bought a few roses this year and there's one I cant find in the RHS plant finder.
It's called 'English Miss' and is a pretty pink flower, with reddish/bronze foliage. Smells lovely.
Have you come across it Foz, and if so, any advice?
TIA
Shrub.

Will I do until he gets back Shrub?
As far as I can remember English Miss is a double pink Floribunda which is rather nice and smelly but that is all I do know - I am not up on English roses much, it was just the name that made me remember.

 wee t. Wish I could find such goodies. Mine's doing well so far but I dont know if it has any 'peculiarities'. Plant labels, in the main, are really useless IMHO.

Hello SR, just seen your request, RF is correct its a cluster flowered rose (floribunda to you and me). Approx 3 foot by 3 foot will flower in flushes throughout summer, supposed to be a fully double with 60+ petals. The pic I found not quite like that. Being an old fashioned person re roses I would call it blush, has a good scent. No special needs, prune Feb/March as HT. Introduced 1977 by Cant.  |

Thanks Fozzie. So no special treatment then other than the usual. It is a lovely shade of pink, very delicate and smells wonderful. It's about 18'' tall at the mo. and only a couple of flowers so far. Hoping it will do better next year.
