I chose St Cecilia purely based on it's scent which I would describe as myrrh but it's not overpowering like other David Austins which make me turn my nose! The fragrance is always detectable and has hints of almond blossom which I find delicious but others don't seem to like it as much as I do, so it's definitely an acquired taste. Blooms are a very light pastel pink, heavily petalled and shallowly cupped but occasionally ones that look like peony roses form and those are just beautiful!
