Literary lovers need this sweet, fruit-scented rose in their garden collection. The soft apricot and peach-colored English blooms are reminiscent of James and the Giant Peach and are continuously in bloom.

What a beauty this rose is. This is year five and it has exploded with blooms!!! Total eye candy and a show stopper for neighbors.
Beautiful and elegant! This is its first bloom this year! It has been planted less than a year!
He is striking. Every time I walk by him, I have to smell the roses. They have a wonderful scent, fruity and medium strength. He has almost a gold coloring for me, with bits of apricot. It depends on the heat of the season. I have him in a container, and he is growing prolifically. I have many, many roses and he definitely makes it into my top 10. I am astounded that he does not have more favorable reviews so I felt I had to write one.
This is my second Roald Dahl. And I want a few more. Highly disease resistant, beautiful healthy leaves with vigorous growth. I love the bright green of these new shoots. For me, in Zone 7a, the color is a pretty pale apricot. Just love this rose in my garden!
