Lawrence-Johnston Rose
In general, I'm not fussed on single type roses.
This one is an exception...it has a wonderful fragrance, and I have a soft spot for the older type roses.
It is a little hard to keep looking in top condition though, as you can see on the picture!
Just remember to spray regularly for blackspot.
