This one is beautiful. A real eye catcher over an arbour.
Does well in Australia.

Dear gardening70,
Is Bantry Bay good for picking?
I am looking for a couple of new pale pink or pinkish mauve varieties to order bare-rooted for this coming winter.
I was thinking of Jacaranda, but I see from your photos it is a fairly strong pink.
I'm also thinking of New Ballerina which is a pale pink. Currently growing Flamingo and
Ophelia which are wonderful pale pink roses and v. good for picking.
Do you have any recommendations ? I think that David Austin's Claire rose would wash out too much in a warmer courtyard setting.
Thanks,
Georgieroses

No idea for picking, it's on a friends arbour.
If you're looking for a climber have you considered New Dawn?
Jacaranda is a strong pink and is suseptible to blackspot, I de-leaf it continually.
Best pink for garden worthiness, form, fragrance and picking would be- The childrens rose (1995).
Read the comments on this one it's vigorous!!
