I am not sure, but I think this is called the Holy Rose and even if it isn’t, I’m going to carry on calling it that as it is planted at the front of our house facing the church of St James and so I think it’s very apt that that is possibly its name

Some many years ago, James took his group to the garden belonging to and brought me back these insanely wonderful apples. They used to sit in the hall and one day I walked past the plate and there was one missing. Luckily the bed and breakfast guest who had put it in her pocket was returning that evening. She had put it in her pocket because she thought it was a real apple and was going to eat it!!
