Rosa Princess Alexandra of Kent (Princess Alexandra of Kent English Rose)

Gigantic, deeply cupped warm pink blooms
Vigorous bloomer
Unusual fruity fragrance
Well rounded shape
Disease resistant

Named for Princess Alexandra, who is a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. She is a keen gardener and great lover of roses. The rose that bears her name has unusually large flowers of a warm, glowing pink. They are full-petalled and deeply cupped in shape, enclosed in a ring of outer petals of a softer pink and nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub. They have a delicious fresh Tea fragrance which, interestingly, changes completely to lemon as the flower ages – eventually taking on additional hints of blackcurrants.
