'Complicata' Modern Shrub Climber. Bright pink, white centre, early summer. 8 x 8 ft (2.4 x 2.4m). shrub or pillar rose of tremendous vigour, up to 8 x 8 ft (2.4 x 2.4m) or even more if grown up into an old tree. Origin unknown and not recorded in any of the old rose books. Arching growth, up to 5ft. (1.5m). Flowers large, bright clear pink with white centre, single with fine boss of golden stamens in centre, up to 5 in. (12.7cm.) across, at first saucer-shaped, then opening flat. Mid-June. Very floriferous, like a much enlarged dog rose of slightly deeper colour and blooming along the length of its branches. Foliage and thorns both abundant. This is one of the finest garden roses, where space is available, and is good on light sandy soils. It is very effective where trained as a pillar round three supports but is equally good as a vast sprawling mass. Its clear pink flowers and very vigorous growth make it fit awkwardly into the Gallica group of dusky purples and crimsons where it is sometimes placed. Roots easily from cuttings.

Fantin Latour. C. Pale pink, summer, 5 ft (1.5m). Vigorous and free-flowering shrub rose. Flowers double in clusters of 2-5, pale blush pink, slightly deeper to shell pink in center, fully-petalled, slightly cup-shaped and deeper in colour when first opening, later opening flat and become paler. Delicately scented. One of the most delicate in colour and beautiful of all the shrub roses. Flowers 3 ½ in. (8.9 cm.) across. Mid-late June. Non-recurrent. Foliage good green. 3-5 large leaflets. Stem not very prickly. Rightly one of the favourite shrub roses, close to many of those of the old Dutch painters and also those of Fantin Latour, the French painter. A good grower but fading in bright sun. Origin and date of raising unknown. One of the very few old roses to have been awarded both A.M. and A.G.M. of R.H.S. 68. p13. A.M., R.H.S. 1959; A.G.M., R.H.S. 1968.
