I'm in the US, so I've only had this rose for a few months, planted in partial shade. So far, the blooms open pure white in my dry-heat climate, with no hint of apricot or pink. Perhaps those shades will come through in the autumn.

1 year on from my first report and I'm really struggling to like this... the blooms are full of flimsy petals that shatter all too quickly, leaving a total mess on the ground, whilst this can look attractive, I'm finding it a bit too much.. with bits of petals remaining on the stem.. I'm forever deadheading to keep it looking reasonable..

The scent is minimal this summer so far..

I don't think I'll be keeping this rose..

That’s disappointing to hear. I was considering buying it as it will be available this autumn in Europe.

I removed it from my garden, it's gone. I was very disappointed this summer. I have replaced it with 'Silas Marner' which I think is a much better rose all round. A sweet scent and the blooms last longer.

Don't let me put you off though. You might like it much more than I did.

I have both Silas Marner (1st year) and Emily Blontë (2nd year) and to my eyes the flower of Elizabeth in photos is really similar to that of Emily Brontë…

I’ll definitely try Bring Me Sunshine though.

Mixed feelings on this one. The pics don't do its justice - it's a very bright and much more pinkie rose than you could see on pictures. It glows and shines especially in half shade underneath the tree canopy. It gives huge sprays of flowers and quite keen to bloom. However, my 1 yo plant holds it's flowers just for a couple days, it's very mildly fragrant on a good day, it doesn't have a strong scent for sure. I've been to DA gardens and was really dedicated to smell all the bushes of Elizabeth and none of them were strongly scented. The flower looks like a mix of eustacia vye colors with emily bronte flower form which is just confusing as they do look very very similar. The leaves are gorgeous and it keeps blooming without deadheading. 5/10 I guess.
