I have just discovered this pretty little rose over the past few days, despite planting it over ten years ago. It was planted at the very end of a long row of ramblers, and an understock from a grafted prunus tree has erupted all around it, so I haven't noticed it winding its way through shady branches until this week.Stonelea Rambler is an Australian rose, bred by John Nieuwesteeg in Victoria and released in 1994, and is the offspring of Alberic Barbier and the hybrid musk Penelope. The foliage is very healthy, especially considering the lack of sunlight where it is situated. The blooms are quite lovely, being cupped and blush pink in colour, and it is supposedly recurrent in its flowering. Now that I have rediscovered this rose, I'll be keeping a closer eye on it and will record when the next flush occurs.
