Rosa 'William Lobb'

This is another rose that's on my wants list!

Oooh 😀👍🏻

There is a certain Victorian cosyness about moss roses which I like :)

Fantastic I've never seen or heard about this before, thank you @RicardoListeretti

@titchyfra Moss roses were hugely popular in the 19th century. They are Centifolia roses that carry the moss mutation in their genes. The moss is often sticky to touch and has a lovely balsam smell. Some are bit gangly and need support but the best varieties are truly wonderful garden plants :)

Thank you for the information @RicardoListeretti I don't recall seeing them in garden centres, have I been blind it is it specialist nurseries only that have this type?

@titchyfra They do make the odd appearance in GC's - usually mixed in with the David Austin branded roses. However far better to browse them by category on the Trevor White website and buy bare root for delivery in the Autumn http://www.oldroses.co.uk/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5&zenid=0092f188145a1951e47142beaa0e7e1d :)

Thanks for the advice @RicardoListeretti

Moss rose 1855 - makes a good climber.

Wow says it all 💗

I love that colour of pink 💕

Are moss roses fragrant too?

Most for sure. This one certainly is! They are basically Centifolia Roses that carry the moss mutation in their genes :)
