Rose - Lady of Megginch

Common Name:
Rose 'Lady of Megginch'

Description:
Rose 'Lady of Megginch' is a rich and romantic English shrub rose bred by David Austin, featuring deep, glowing pink to raspberry-red blooms with a luxurious, ruffled form. The flowers open from large, rounded buds into full, deeply cupped rosettes packed with petals, and exude a strong, fruity old-rose fragrance with hints of raspberry. Blooming in flushes from late spring through to autumn, this rose performs well in Melbourne's climate, especially when grown in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. The plant forms a tidy, upright shrub with healthy mid-green foliage and good disease resistance. Perfect for garden borders, rose beds, or as a flowering hedge, 'Lady of Megginch' adds a sense of classic grandeur and perfume to any garden setting.
