Website/Catalog (2018) Includes photo(s). (Auslea) Leander 'Leander' is not quite a typical English Rose. The deep apricot, medium-sized flowers are of perfectly symmetrical formation. They are borne very freely in large open sprays in June and July, with some flowers later in the season. There is a delightful raspberry scent, in the tea rose tradition. [...] Named after the mythological Greek lover from Christopher Marlowe’s poem Hero and Leander.
