This rose really does make for the perfect 40th wedding anniversary gift, producing its spectacular red double blooms in abundance throughout the summer months.
Trained as a standard and growing to just a metre (or so) in height, this rose is perfect for pot-growing on a sunny patio or balcony.
A hybrid tea rose, these flowers are about as iconic as they come, and wouldn't look at all out of place thrown at the feet of opera singers!
Another thing about these blooms is that they make for excellent cut flowers, looking fabulous in bouquets and arrangements.
