Rose 'Daniel Gelin'

Rose 'Daniel Gelin'
El Retiro rose garden, Madrid. First shown in 2017.
These are my favourite roses. I had them in a London garden but didn't take cuttings before I left and then spent 25 years looking for it! Not easy when I didn't have a name! But the colour is distinctive as is the dark green of the leaves (apparently an indication of an old variety). I did eventually spot it in a Portreath garden (Cornwall) and also a London front garden (in both cases the owners weren't in so I couldn't ask for a cutting) and then, miraculously in the rose garden of the Retiro park, Madrid!

This is a brilliant photo of a very popular rose. A friend has this growing in his garden. It has a wonderful scent. I hope you manage to get a proper cutting of it, so you can start growing it in your garden.

Thank you, Jenny! I haven't had a garden for over 10 years so there's little point in getting a cutting!!! Anyway, I don't think the park gardeners would to be happy if they caught me taking cuttings!
