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

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

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.
