The Reeve Rose * Introduced in 1979

The Reeve rose is medium sized rose bush with bright pink cup shaped semi-double flowers. The showy stamens and anthers set off the pink petals. It is very fragrant. It was suffering from a touch of black spot, likely due in part to the overhead watering. The Reeve rose came about from a cross between 'Lillian Austin' and 'Chaucer'.
