Rose Mary Berry Rose

Rounded cream buds open into a large cream flowers of classical shape with darker cream-yellow centers and are about 10 cm (4") in diameter. It truly has one of the strongest scents among the hybrid tea roses. The fragrance is very strong and sweet.

Named to honor the much-admired food writer and TV presenter. When in 2016 Mary Berry was interviewed by Alan Titchmarsh, at Chelsea she told “For many years I’ve bought from Harkness. I’ve always liked the idea all the rose they grow are British. They don’t import anything. I’ve been to their nursery in Hertfordshire and I’ve always taken their advice and had great success with ‘Chandos Beauty’. We have two beds of those. It seemed very natural they had sourced the rose exactly as I wanted. I’ve waited a long time; other rose growers have asked me but I wanted to go to Harkness because I know them so well.”.

This rose was chosen by Mary Berry herself to be named after her as it is a seeding of her favorite rose variety ‘Chandos Beauty’.
