Just on observation from the half a dozen times I've visited DA... But they definitely have a significanly more desdemona than any other rose in the show gardens. I guess Olivia rose would be a very distant second. They are both in my personal top 5 austins and I would imagine they both sell very well also!!
Elsham Hall and country park today. Lots of roses out and a wonderful deep pink Rugosa hedge that went all the way around the inner circle of the walled garden. Masses of single flowers and covered in bees.
