'Gabriel Oak' is a a magnificent variety bearing large, many-petaled rosette blooms in a striking shade of deep pink. Over time, the outer petals pale slightly. The wonderful fragrance is strong and fruity. A vigorous rose, it forms a shapely, broad, rounded shrub with mulberry purple stems and dark green foliage. It grows 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide. Named after the beloved character of Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel Far From The Madding Crowd.

| 'Eustacia Vye' |
'Eustacia Vye' is an exceedingly pretty rose with glowing mid-pink flowers with a touch of apricot. The rich hue gradually pales over time. Held on red-tinged stems, the blooms begin as shallow cups that open to full rosettes packed with delicately ruffled petals. The delicious fragrance is strong and fruity. 'Eustacia Vye' is a repeat-blooming rose with a strong, vigorous shrub and exceptional good health. It grows 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide. Named after the flawed heroine of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native.
