According to the David Austin Site:
Here is a variety of unusual colouring which is almost impossible to describe – a very deep, almost salmon-pink shade that changes with age to an intense red-pink. The deeply cupped flowers soon open to form slightly cupped rosettes. ‘Benjamin Britten’ is a useful rose to provide a highlight among the softer shades of most English Roses. The fragrance is intensely fruity, with aspects of wine and pear drops.
