Magazine (2002) Page(s) 21.Vol 96, Part 1. Nicholas Dodson Coleman Sings the Praise of the Single Rose. For a climbing single / semi double HT I would suggest taking a look at 'Cupid'. This is another Cant's variety of unknown lineage, this time dating from 1915. Although it's not over generous with its large salmon-pink flowers, displaying large golden anthers, they are really quite delightful. Each flowering stem tip produces two or three blooms and it is said to be occasionally remontant although again not with me. It does though produce good orange hips and has been said to have a fragrance reminiscent of raspberries... well perhaps on a good day with a little imagination.
