Above: The striking 'Lady
Penzance', a 19
th century hybrid daughter of Rosa
Eglanteria and Rosa
Foetida bi-color'. She has the wonderful apple-scented foliage of the Sweet
Briars, and is suitably tough for a drought-prone Australian garden...mine is in a very inhospitable position, and still powers along with no human intervention in any form. I would love to grow her in a better spot to see what she could do- first rose on the 2012 "must have" list, perhaps?
Above: Lady
Penzance. She is said to be prone to black spot due to her R.
Foetida Bicolor parent, but I have never seen any hint of it.
Above: The very pretty little
rugosa Lily Freeman. She is still quite smallish in my garden- about 3 1/2 feet- and more upright in habit that her spreading
rugosa counterparts.
Above: Cheerful little Claret Cup, an Australian-bred rose that is perfect for the front of a border. It grows to about 3 to 4 feet high, and is very generous in its flowering flushes. It is a totally no maintenance rose...beyond the simple job of cutting off the spent clusters, there is nothing else to do except enjoy the displays when they come.
