Ingrid Bergman IS nice. It's a low grower, so make sure that you plant
it in front of other plants. It really has a nice aroma as well.

Keep in mind that it DOES tend to blue a bit, as do a lot of really
deep red blooms. Also, the bloom size decreases dramatically in the
middle of the summer when it gets hot (although I don't know if you
get that sort of weather where you are). The nice thing about IB is
that it almost has a velvety looking texture to it. It's not a "shiny"
red, but a matte finish. It holds nicely in the vase.

I got mine from Edmunds Roses in Oregon, but since you're in the UK, I
can't help you out. Perhaps you could contact them at their website
and see if they know of an English distributor.

Actually, turns out that I CAN help you out.
