Rose - Grace

Common Name:
Rose 'Grace'

Description:
Rose 'Grace' is a charming English shrub rose bred by David Austin, renowned for its warm apricot blooms and elegant growth habit. The flowers are full, cupped rosettes with neatly arranged petals that gradually open to reveal a soft, glowing centre. The colour blends shades of apricot, peach, and soft pink, creating a warm and romantic effect in the garden. This rose carries a light yet pleasing fragrance with tea rose notes. Flowering begins in late spring and continues in flushes through summer and autumn, making it a reliable and long-lasting performer. With a bushy, rounded form and healthy, mid-green foliage, 'Grace' is suitable for both garden beds and large pots. In Melbourne, it thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and responds well to pruning and regular feeding, ensuring continuous displays of bloom.
