Dame Edith Helen Rose

The Edith Helen rose was a regal strong stemmed beauty named for Edith Vane- Tempest- Stewart. Roaming about Dunrobin Castle as a wee child, we might imagine inspiration for floral fancies that would later be birthed into gardens that represented a Mount Stewart Eden.
It is said that this rose does not bloom that often,... but, when she does,... it will have been worth the wait. The rose was introduced in 1926.
As the 7th Marquess of Londonberry, she was a political hostess and a writer.
