'Carolyn Knight' rose References
Website/Catalog (2018) Includes photo(s). (Austurner) Carolyn Knight We find that the occasional variety will, after a few years, produce a sport - in other words a plant that varies in just one characteristic, usually colour. Here, 'Summer Song', has sported from its usual striking burnt orange colour to a distinctive shade of soft gold. At the bud stage the colour is a most beautiful shade of apricot complete with a lovely pink flush. All other characteristics are the same as 'Summer Song'. The young flowers are quite rounded opening up into large, fully double, cup-shaped flowers which hang gracefully on the stem. The sweet, warm honey fragrance has a remarkable depth and complexity. Each flower is subtly different with varying hints of almond, myrrh, blackcurrant and tea. [...] Carolyn Knight was a great help to the nursery in the early days when she helped with various aspects of design. Sadly she passed away recently.
