Caitlin (Kathleen) was adopted by Irish writers as a pseudonym for Ireland. Following the enactment of repressive laws towards the close of the 17th century poets and writers were unable to refer to Ireland by name, so they introduced other names including that of Caitlin (Kathleen).

Swane's Says | The shrubby nature of Sweet Caitlin means an adjustment to the common pruning methods will get the best from this great rose. Remove old stems in winter but don't prune too deeply. |
