Insights
This variety was named in 2016 with the approval of Roald Dahl's wife, Felicity Dahl, to highlight Roald's love of gardening and to celebrate Roald Dahl 100. The colour of the rose immediately brought to mind the eponymous peach in James and the Giant Peach, one of Roald Dahl's best-loved novels.
