Rose - Englands Rose

Common Name:
England's Rose

Description:
'England's Rose' is a robust and repeat-flowering English shrub rose bred by David Austin, notable for its rich pink, deeply cupped blooms and outstanding disease resistance. The flowers are classic in form, with frilly, tightly packed petals that open fully without fading, even in the heat or rain. Each bloom releases a warm, strong old-rose fragrance that intensifies as the flowers mature. This variety was introduced as a tribute to Princess Diana and embodies both strength and elegance. In Melbourne gardens, 'England's Rose' flourishes in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil, showing impressive resilience to black spot and mildew. It flowers prolifically in flushes from late spring through to autumn and works beautifully as a feature shrub, in rose beds, or planted en masse for bold colour and fragrance. Its hardy nature and compact, bushy habit also make it a reliable option for low hedging or large pots.
