Rosa Francis E Lester AGM
£33.00
notes
A very pretty rambling rose, smothered in bunches of small blooms of wonderful white flowers. Starting with edges dipped in pink, they then become almost pure white, giving the effect of apple blossom. As you can imagine, this effect on a large scale is spectacular. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence. Image courtesy of David Austin Roses.
Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.

Insights
Another bonus of this rose is the strong, musky scent and the rose hips that form in the autumn. Introduced by Lester Rose Gardens in 1946, this variety is an all round winner for rambling over large arches, structures or entwined through trees.
