My favourite rose at Hampton Court this year was a new introduction called Dorothy House, from Fryer's Roses, which has a strong and heady fragrance. The contrasts of this variety are remarkable with dark green foilage accentuating the pale, pearl flowers that have a shimmer of pink. This rose is named after Doreen Constance Dorothy Elsie House of Bath, who died in March 2008, and proceeds will go to support the hospice in Winsley, Wiltshire.
