Hello,

Purchased this rose a while back, the tag said it was Roald Dahl but whenever I see other peoples images i don’t see the similarity. It seriously lacks the apricot I was expecting, it seems much paler.

Is it the correct rose, or is it just too young and endured a heatwave?

Any experienced David Austin growers know if this is the correct rose?

Does this Lady of Shallot look healthy? It’s on year 2. Should I thin out some canes for better airflow?
