Rose - Princess Anne

Common Name:
Princess Anne Rose

Description:
Princess Anne is a striking English rose developed by David Austin, named in honour of Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal. This variety stands out for its unusually deep, rich pink blooms that gradually open to reveal warmer, cerise tones and occasionally a hint of yellow on the reverse of the petals. The flowers are medium-sized, fully double, and borne in large clusters, producing a dense, eye-catching display from late spring through to autumn. This rose has a strong, healthy growth habit and exceptional disease resistance, making it well-suited to Melbourne gardens. It forms a dense, upright shrub with glossy, dark green foliage, and works beautifully as a flowering hedge, feature shrub, or in large containers. Lightly fragrant with a tea-rose and myrrh scent, Princess Anne is a resilient and long-flowering performer ideal for structured or informal gardens alike.
