Rose ‘Young Lycidas’ produces large deeply cupped blooms that blend deep pink magenta and red with the outer petals softening towards light purple and carrying a subtle silvery sheen. The rich colour mix gives the shrub a dramatic presence in borders and the flowers come with a strong tea and Old Rose fragrance underscored by notes of cedar wood. This variety forms a full bushy medium sized shrub that flowers repeatedly through the summer and suits borders cutting and containers.
