Gertrude Jekyll

I know this is the David Austin rose Gertrude Jekyll by its sweetly scented pink flowers and the picture on its label. In my garden these roses don't grow well if they are crowded with other plants, and I've had to move them several times.

Gertrude Jeckyll Rose

This Gertrude Jekyll rose is reaching up into a smallish apple tree, and has air and sun. I grow another in the open spaces of the Willow Tree garden by the water race.

Gertrude Jekyll, of course, was a very famous English lady gardener and writer. I think she was the mistress of the English perennial border. The Gertrude Jeckyll rose is bred by David Austin.

Hmm... I wonder about a Moosey Rose... Wonder if David Austin would be interested? Maybe not - unless my writing and gardening can become as famous as Miss Jekyll's
