Bears very large, globular, clear pink flowers, reminiscent of peonies. Despite their size, they are never clumsy and are held nicely upright on the plant. There is a particularly strong and rich Old Rose fragrance. It forms a bushy shrub; the flowers, leaves and growth all in proportion. David Austin, 1986.

This rose was named after the hero of the Ellis Peters detective stories, which are set in Shropshire where the David Austin nursery is located.
