Gentle Hermione’ will form an attractive rounded shrub of medium height with slightly arching stems. It has excellent health and the petals are particularly resistant to rain. The roses you will enjoy from this English rose will have a strong, warm classic old rose scent with a hint of myrrh. From Gentle Hermoine, enjoy flowers with a soft blush on the outside and a lovely pure pink at the center....a charming effect. Starting as attractive, nicely rounded buds, the flowers gradually open to shallow cups with all their petals perfectly arranged. Your new rose bush will arrive potted in soil for best results, and a variety to about 4 by 3 feet tall, so one you can truly enjoy anywhere in your garden.
