FFF127 - TROILUS ROSE

'Troilus' is a David Austin old-fashioned rose with beautiful, large, deeply cupped blooms of a wonderful shade of honey-buff colour on a strong growing bush with mid-green foliage. It is a fragrant rose that performs outstandingly well when grown in a warmer climate.

Troilus was released by David Austin in 1983.  It was named after the Trojan War hero in Shakespeare’s tragedy, 'Troilus and Cressida'. The Troilus rose flowers continuously from spring to late autumn.  It is a sturdy, upright shrub of medium height.

  3. I do believe I took a photo of this gorgeous rose in a Seattle garden, not knowing its name but admiring it deeply. Your photo is very beautiful (as always).
