     I am so thrilled to have found Cottage Rose-- and at a bargain price to boot.  I have wanted to try this English rose for a couple of years, and now I have placed three near our deck so we can enjoy them up close.
      Cottage Rose is a pretty English rose that blooms continuously all season.  As soon as one flush of flowers has passed, another is on its way.  The informal flowers are reminiscent of Mary Rose in shape, but the color is a more feminine pink.  Noted as one of the best garden roses in the English Rose collection.
