Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Rosa ‘Jacques Lafitte’

A Hybrid Perpetual rose, the flowers are carmine pink or rosy-crimson in colour.
