Rose - Emily Bronte

Common Name:
Emily Brontë Rose

Description:
The Emily Brontë Rose is a distinguished English shrub rose bred by David Austin in 2018 to commemorate the bicentenary of the novelist's birth. This variety features large, shallowly cupped blooms with soft pink outer petals that deepen to rich apricot at the centre, surrounding deep-set stamens. The flowers emit a strong tea fragrance that evolves into an old rose scent with hints of lemon and grapefruit. Blooming prolifically from early summer through autumn, this rose forms a bushy shrub with strong, healthy, upright growth. It thrives in Melbourne's climate, offering both visual appeal and a captivating scent to gardens.
