Personal growing review of rose ‘ Penelope lively’ from  

Welcome to my personal review of rose “ Penelope, lively” -(Ausb18a15) launched in 2023 by David Austin, roses
It’s now been in the ground for just under a year and produced a whopping four flushes of flowers last season Each larger and more showy than the flush before,
It has dark, Emerald green foliage, that is tinged with the most beautiful burnt burgundy edges make up the backdrop for the strong, true pink flowers,
They are born, both singly and in small sprays on graceful arching stems and open from rounded cerise pink buds, they open completely flat and are saucer shaped.and they have the most beautiful crinkled tissue paper, like texture, adding a sense of true romance and fuss to the flower which is incredibly pretty.
As the bloom ages, it takes on a beautiful silvery grey hue very similar to that of Princess Anne or Gabriel oak as the flower fades
Comparisons have been made by others of this roses similarities to the princess Alexandra of Kent,Harlow Car, and Princess Anne so in a review first I bring all four roses together in comparison
Expect to see this rose climb high into my top 20 most recommended David Austin roses in 2024
it’s exceedingly healthy and when fully established expect it to create a shrub around 3 1/2 feet tall and around 4 feet wide perfect for planting alone as a statement shrub or as an informal hedge
During Home trials this variety stands up well to being cut and lasts and astonishing 5 to 6 days in a
The fragrance is Rich warm and fruity with upper notes of citrus and sweet summer fruits the real epitome of summer
