According to the David Austin Site:

‘Imogen’ is an extremely healthy and floriferous rose with a natural radiance and charm. The exceedingly pretty, soft lemon blooms begin as pointed buds, which become more rounded as they open. The fully open blooms are medium-large in size and very distinctive in character, with many delicately frilled petals arranged around a classic button eye. Over time, they gradually pale to almost cream. The fragrance is light but pleasant, with hints of fresh apple.

The name ‘Imogen’ takes inspiration from the daughter of King Cymbeline, and virtuous wife of Posthumus, in William Shakespeare’s Cymbeline.
