Bred by the famous David Austin nursery in 2004, the rose was named after the Queen of Sweden in honour of a treaty of friendship and commerce signed by Sweden and Britain. It is particularly useful in a cutting garden due to the regularity and straightness of the flower stems which create superb arrangements.
