Rosemoor
Shrub Rose
Bears small, light pink rosettes, each only 2 across with a tiny green eye. They are held in sprays, opening in succession and flowering almost to the ground. The medium strength Old Rose fragrance has hints of apple, cucumber and violet leaf. It forms a rounded, bushy shrub. David Austin, 2004.
