The Generous Gardener bears beautifully formed flowers, which nod gracefully on the stem. When the petals open they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect.
The flowers are a pale glowing pink and have a delicious fragrance with aspects of Old Rose, musk and myrrh.
It is highly disease-resistant.
The Generous Gardener has been named to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National Gardens Scheme which has, over the years, contributed so much to charity and made it possible for us to see so many beautiful gardens.
