Lavender Lassie

This rose was retired here from a friend's garden, and she claims it is a Lavender Lassie. I planted it to spread over the wires between the pergola posts. The flowers were quite spectacular, in big clusters of blooms which are more pink in colour than lavender.

Unfortunately the other Pergola roses claimed that the colour of Lavender Lassie clashed with theirs. So she is banished to the Stables border to lean against a sunny wall and comtemplate in rose solitude.
