An heirloom plant with a delicate air of romance and informality that lends itself well to a cottage garden setting. The pale, mauve-pink blush, semi-double to loose-double flowers are steeped in grace and produce a profusion of flowers grouped in clusters. Blush petals become increasingly more white towards the centre of the flower, producing an enchanting pearlescent effect. The blooms also tantalize our sense of smell by producing an intoxicating fragrance. The floriferous plants carry masses of flowers well on strong stems. Lady Alexandra Duff is a known seed parent of double-flowering offspring, making this a plant of interest to hybridizers. Side buds extend the bloom period.
