Ethel

Ethel, my beautiful rambling rose.



This was last year, but she has been even more stunning this year!

Oh that's so pretty, Rachael. Beautiful banner!

So delicate and petite looking. Perfect for the banner.

I love that color of the rose, so delicate... it looks more like smaller peonies than a rose. Gorgeous banner!

Beautiful banner Rachael!

Gorgeous!

Ethel is beautiful Rachael, as is the banner!

I loved seeing the rose in all its glory. Thanks for all of the extra views of it.

What an inviting place to relax surrounded by all those beautiful blooms.
Very special.
Thanks for sharing.....wish we were there.

BTW, what do you do to keep Ethel so happy & healthy?
I've never had a rambler bloom so profusely.

Cal- absolutely nothing! I think it is just a case of right plant, right place. I bought from Peter Beales roses about 3 years ago and it's just gone from strength to strength. What you can't see from the pictures ia that she is now all over the front of the cat cage, all across the top and through and right the was along the fence on the other side! I'm sure some people might consider her a complete thug!

3 yrs old??! =O
I thought she'd been there for 15 at least.
She's definitely a winner. I hadn't planned on adding any roses, but a robust rambler like Ethel is worth looking into.

We have several David Austin roses.....my favorite, Gertrude Jekyll, has the most intoxicating fragrance. And the most wicked thorns!
Armed to the teeth! I have the scars to prove it.
Now I wear gauntlets when pruning her.

So far I haven't found a source for Ethel here in the USA,
but will call a few nurseries to see if she's available.

Amazing rose! Pretty pink pastel color.
