An exceptionally beautiful rose with distinctive neat, flat blooms. Each bloom is a lovely soft pink, the smaller central petals deepening to rich apricot and surrounding deep-set stamens.

The strong Tea scent becomes more Old Rose, with delicious hints of lemon and grapefruit.

It forms a bushy shrub with strong, healthy, upright growth.

Named for the Brontë Society to celebrated the bicentenary of the novelist’s birth.
