Gertrude Jekill

Bought from David Austin in November 2019 (root)

Planted in December 2019 (one in the pot, one in the ground)

Type: Shrub

Flowering : Repeat

Colour: Bright pink

Fragrance: Strong (old rose)

Bloom size : Large

Size : Medium 3 ft (1 m)

Growing condition : Full or partial sunlight

First Summer 2020

Position: East and West facing

First one on the ground (east facing) behaved very well (without disease, it bloomed all summer until September)

Second one in the pot (west facing) was ok but it tended to grow very tall and I had some problems when the wind was blowing (maybe I overfed him)

Overall, the one in the ground grew more compact and healthy.

But...for real ...Gertrude Jekill is veeeeerrrryyyy fragrant (classic rose scent)
