Cornelia Rose Bushes

Rosa Cornelia

Vigorous and with bronzy leaves, Cornelia is a hybrid musk that carries strongly scented, clusters of small, flat coppery-apricot blooms in July to September, which fade to pink. Lovely in the autumn, and excellent as a hedge. It has an Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, so it's reliably disease free and a good choice for any gardener. To 5 ft x 5 ft
