English Rose - bred by David Austin
Shrub Rose
A short, bushy rose that can be used in rose beds or towards the front of a border. The flowers are medium-sized and apricot-pink in color, becoming a very soft, pale pink towards the edges. At first they are of neat,cupped formation, later opening out into very attractive rosettes. A tough free-flowering and altogether trouble-free rose, which does particularly well in the hotter areas. It has the the fine English Rose myrrh fragrance, which is almost unique to English Roses.
Named for the very well-loved British radio series The Archers, which has been running for over 50 years.
