I just ordered my first rose. It's a David Austin English rose. It's called Falstaff. The flowers look huge, deep crimson and supposedly very fragrant. I picked it because I liked the name, and I half-remembered a verse from a Dar Williams song that mentioned Falstaff. I looked up the lyrics to the song, and yeah, I made a good choice.
"And I hope some day
That the best of Falstaff's planners
Give me seven half-built manors
Where half dreams may dream without end."
