Rose of the day – Constance Spry

One of the most spectacular roses in the old rose garden is the pink climbing rose Constance Spry.  It is heavily scented and produces masses of beautiful blooms.  The plant is now some 15 years old and performs wonderfully year after year if pruned annually.  It is certainly quite a vigorous rose and needs plenty of space- it is currently over 2 metres high and at least the same across.
