(Chinas) Beloved as the 'Sweetheart Rose', Cécile Brünner produces a seemingly endless succession of perfectly scrolled, Hybrid Tea-shaped buds in the softest blush pink, each one a miniature jewel of elegant petal formation. Borne in delicate clusters and sweetly fragrant, this remarkably free-flowering rose blooms with extraordinary generosity from early summer well into autumn. Named in honour of the daughter of a Swiss horticulturalist, she has charmed gardeners and flower arrangers alike for well over a century.
