The Pilgrim Rose

The Pilgrim was one of my early yellow rose purchases. It is a so-called English rose bred by David Austin, and the flowers are a soft lemon colour. The Pilgrim has a subtle and understated beauty.

This shrub grows tall and upright in my garden, and it flowers in summer surrounded by white and magenta Lychnis - a delightfully delicate combination! I've noticed that the leaves are quite shiny and green - you'll not find blackspot or rust on this rose. Think tall, green, and healthy.

The Pilgrim is bred from the famous David Austin yellow rose Graham Thomas. All my rose books agree that it's a great rose for any garden.

I'll happily make room for more if I ever find any.
