Some websites say it's a salmon pink and then another said it was pale orange!Would love someone in the know to advise is it more pinky or is it more orangey.!How high did it grow in your garden and does it need support!Comments welcomed please.

First flowers on mine are always pinker. With the main flushes of flowers they are pinkest at the petal tips trending down to an apricotty pink and right at the base is yellow. The overall impression is one of a slightly apricotty pink (but erring on the pink) and the scent is one of the best! It's a really good doer and repeat flowerer. No garden should be without one!

This is my all time favourite rose - is a climber, and first one I had, I trained along a 4 x 2 fence support, and it flowered really well.Have read this is the best way to train climbing roses, for best flowering - I didn't know at the time, just only way to grow at that place.Have had it at 2 places I have owned since that one.took cuttings here, and keep one as a bush, and have 2 climbers.Fragrance is wonderful.
