| Out of all the roses in my garden, my favorite has to be the one that also happens to be the smallest (for the moment) miss Lady Emma Hamilton. I don't understand why I don't hear people gushing about her more often, she is exceptionally healthy, her foliage is & always has been completely spotless & healthy, it is a lovely, smoky shade of green, with larger than average leaves that make her seem exotic. Her blooms are incredibly lovely & plentiful, they are such a stunning combination of yellow, orange, and pink.. they just sort of glow. Not to mention they have an amazing fruity fragrance that is just delicious. Even the form of the petals & the upright, perky shape of the flower is perfect. I can already say I will never not have one around, she's such a cheerful little powerhouse.

| I have a new plant of it and am smitten too. Beautiful colour. Before the first flush finished it was putting out an amazing amount of new growth...at every single leaf axil. It will be putting on an incredible show in a few weeks. |

| I couldn't agree more! Absolutely one of my favorites! And I find the luminous colors in the buds just before they open to be almost as delightful as the blooms themselves. Severely underrated, IMHO. |
