| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Feb 7, 2014 2:04 PM Such a charming old-rose lookalike. Both the color and the blooms remind me of an old English garden. Not that I have ever visited an old English garden, but Eglantyne should certain be grown in one. Mine grows in my Long Island, NY, garden instead. [ Reply to this comment | |
