Country
Living,
Austin 1991. Breeding: Wife of Bath X Graham Thomas

'Country Living' is one of the fairly new Austin roses on the market,
and is new to my collection also. I have only seen two blossoms on
my plant so far, and will therefore reserve comment till later on.
The
blooms are a warm pink on a very twiggy, compact plant that resembles
a Damask Perpetual in habit, somewhat. There is a light fragrance,
and the blooms are medium in size for an English rose. I suspect that
with excellent culture, this will make a very nice little rose of
much character.
