Lovely - but I hate to add it's called after William Morris the Arts & Crafts designer not our William Morris (Lord Nuffield - Morris Minors)

Indeed it does tell me that in the catalogue, to commemorate the University of East Londons centenery year, but ah "A rose by any other name........." none the less.

Agreed! As a lover of William Morris (artist) and Morris cars I might invest!

The best standard I ever purchased and I still have a pair in my garden, was Pat Austin named after David Austins (the rose grower) late wife.
A deep copper colour with a lovely scent that is so often missing on Hybrid moderns.
Highly recommended.

Yes I agree it'sa lovely rose but ..... it's an AUSTIN not a Morris

Well spotted

But never black spotted, quite resistant.
