(Ausglobe)  Brother Cadfael
Bears very large, globular, clear pink flowers, reminiscent of peonies.  Despite their size, they are never clumsy and are held nicely upright on the plant.  There is a particularly strong and rich Old Rose fragrance.  It forms a bushy shrub; the flowers, leaves and growth all in proportion.  David Austin, 1986. [...]
This rose was named after the hero of the Ellis Peters detective stories, which are set in Shropshire where our nursery is located.
