An uplifting rose bearing unusual open cupped flowers of soft yellow, paling to cream. The scallop-shaped, incurved petals are loosely yet generously assembled around a central bos s of golden stamens, creating a soft, airy appearance. There is a spectacular first flush of blooms, which are borne in well-spaced sprays and displayed proudly against the mid-green, semi-glossy foliage. Forms a healthy, medium-sized upright bush with a light myrrh fragrance, whose hips must be removed to encourage repeat flowering. Named in honour of Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, founder of Britain’s National Health Service and in recognition of the NHS, its people and associated organisations and charities. Show more
