Properties and uses:
The rose 'Jude The Obscure'® vies with Golden Celebration for the first place as the most magnificent of the English Roses. Its flowers are very large and of incurved chalice shape. Their color is a pleasing medium yellow on the inside of the petals and a paler yellow on the outside.
It has excellent, strong and almost completely disease-free growth. This rose is particularly fine in a dry climate, although it may ball in the rain.
A very strong, unusual and delicious fragrance with a fruity note reminiscent of guava and sweet white wine.
Named after the character in Thomas Hardy’s novel. -
