John Clare

This rose was rescued from the bargain bin at a local nursery. The pink is deep yet soft, and seems to glow - especially in setting and rising sun. John Clare could lead a revival for the colour pink - and he would look amazing next to a bronze-purple flax.

John Clare is a British poet. I wonder how he would describe this David Austin rose which is named after him? The petals seem to have a strong sheen which makes their pink look deeper and darker than it really is. John Clare would describe it much better than I do.
