Spare my blushes

Blush Noisette is such a pretty thing, and the most floriferous rose I have.

If you get the David Austin newsletter you'll have seen they have just launched three new roses with literary associations: The Mill on the Floss, Tottering-by-Gently (named after the Annie Tempest cartoon in Country Life), and Emily Brontë, to mark the 200th. anniversary of the author's birth.

What a beautiful blog you have. My favourite rose of those you have introduced today, is the delicate Emily Bronte.

Thank you, Gerda.
Emily Bronte is lovely and reminds me of Evelyn, which I used to have: https://www.thefragrantrosecompany.co.uk/evelyn-david-austin-shrub-rose.html

I have several unknown roses in my garden, one very similar to this. Mine is highly fragranced, hope yours is too.

Just by the way, it 'appears' in this post too: https://goo.gl/4gAtVG
