Lady of Shallot rose seedlings

Rich orange-red buds open into cup-shaped flowers filled with loosely arranged orange petals. The outer petals surrounding it are salmon pink with beautifully contrasting golden-yellow undersides. There is a pleasant, warm tea fragrance with hints of spiced apple and cloves. It quickly forms a bushy bush with slightly spreading stems and medium green leaves that have an attractive, slightly bronze color when young. The name is taken from one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poems in honor of the 200th anniversary of his birth.
