| Graham Thomas |
This is the English shrub rose Graham Thomas. It has a very unusual, tea fragrance which is quite strong. This is a vigorous grower, and can behave almost like a climber in our climate. Here's another picture, taken in the spring of 1998.
As is usually the case, Graham Thomas was one of the last to finally bloom in 1999. As ever, the blossoms are gorgeous, strikingly beautiful, well formed, and fragrant, making them worth the wait.
Even now, during the hottest and dryest July on record here in New Jersey, Graham Thomas continues to deliver striking blooms such as the one shown below.
