The Lady of the House is Ursula Hayward and her beautiful home was the Carrick Hill mansion built in Springfield in 1939. Today, Carrick Hill is a historic property open to the public with a wonderful collection of art, antiques and furniture on display. The property was bequeathed to the State of South Australia in 1983.

The gorgeous new Lady of the House is a prolific flowering Hybrid Tea, bred by Guillot, growing 1.2m tall and 0.80m wide with healthy glossy foliage and good disease tolerance. Produced in clusters, the flowers have a strong, fruity fragrance with hints of ginger and cinnamon and a long vase life making them suitable for cut flowers. A top performer in the warmer weather, the second flush has high quality blooms in pretty pink with a creamy apricot centre. This rose is ideal for beds, borders or containers and repeat flowers in flushes throughout the growing season.

This beautiful, new rose has been named in Ursula’s honour by the Carrick Hill Development Foundation and part proceeds from the sale of this rose will go to support the gardens and facilities at Carrick Hill.
