More About The Generous Gardener®

The Generous Gardener® opens from bulbous, light pink buds in small clusters, revealing large, deeply cupped blooms in delicate pink with a soft peachy centre. As the very double flowers mature, they open to reveal beautifully arranged petals and golden stamens at their heart. Very fragrant with a deeply perfumed blend of sweet old rose layered with notes of musk and myrrh and a hint of fruit, these blooms bring both refined colour and exceptional fragrance to the garden.
Growing Details

Clad in dark green foliage with a semi-glossy finish, this repeat blooming climber flowers very abundantly throughout the season and shows minor fungal susceptibility on occasion.
