Rosa 'Gertrude Jekyll', an iconic English rose of old-fashioned style, is renowned for its large, very double, intense pink flowers with an exceptionally powerful fragrance. Its tightly packed petals form opulent rosettes with classic charm, evoking the most refined old roses. Its rich, typically "old rose" fragrance is one of its greatest assets, particularly appreciated near terraces and pathways. Very floriferous and repeat-flowering, it produces generous clusters throughout the season. Its vigorous and naturally upright habit can be grown as a large, structured shrub or lightly espaliered. Its dense, healthy dark green foliage highlights the intensity of the color while offering good general resistance. Rosa 'Gertrude Jekyll' brings romance, olfactory intensity, and timeless elegance to the garden while actively attracting pollinating insects.
