Port Sunlight (Auslofty)
David Austin Recommended Variety

This rose bears medium sized flowers of rich apricot colouring. They are of flat rosette shape and slightly quartered at the centre; the outer petals falling back a little and becoming paler. They have a rich Tea fragrance. The foliage and young stems are bronzy-red at first, becoming a fairly dark green. The growth is vigorous and rather upright, about 5 ft. in height by 3.5 ft. across, making it ideal for the back of a mixed border where it will compete well with other plants. It is very resistant to disease. All in all, a good, reliable variety.

It is named after the model village in the Wirral in the UK built by William Hesketh Lever, where they have a beautiful garden of English Roses.

5 ft. x 3 ft. or 8 ft. as a climber.
