Giving a Rose as a Gift 2

I recently blogged on giving a rose as a gift, and shortlisted five modern roses that were ideal for this purpose.  However, I forgot to include a rose that has been around for some years, Absolutely Fabulous, which won the coveted Rose of the Year award in 2010.

This is one of the healthiest roses around and has lovely scented flowers from June to September.  The blooms are beautifully scented and borne on strong stems.
