Rose - Charlotte

Rose 'Charlotte'

Description:
Rose 'Charlotte' is a refined English shrub rose bred by David Austin, renowned for its soft yellow, cup-shaped blooms and reliable garden performance. The flowers are full and rosette-formed, with outer petals paling to a gentle cream, giving each bloom depth and delicacy. Its fragrance is light and fresh, with subtle tea rose notes.
