Eustacia VyeA very pretty rose with glowing apricot pink blooms with delicately ruffled petals. The stem is red tinged, the buds are apricot pink, and as the blooms open they take on a rich apricot fading to a delicate pink. The blooms have a delicious strong fruity fragrance. The bush is healthy with excellent disease resistance. Upright and bushy in its growth habit. Named after the heroine of Thomas Hardy's "The Return of the Native."
