I am an absolute sucker for David Austin's myrrh-scented roses, and the pretty soft-pink Sceptre'd Isle is no exception. It is so prolific and strongly scented you can smell the fragrance well without sinking your face into the bloom. It opens very cupped, then relaxes to display the yellow stamens as it ages. I have several specimens in the garden, and all have grown to six feet, vigorous and disease-free.
