'Essex' is one of the County series of Ground Cover roses bred by Poulsen of Denmark and Kordes of Germany.
There are nearly 20 of these low growing roses named after English counties.
This variety grows to about 2ft (60cm) high and 5ft (1.5m) across, and its dark green foliage is covetred in small , single blooms of rich deep pink, with a white center and attractive golden stamens.
