Rose - Roald Dahl

Common Name:
Roald Dahl Rose

Description:
The Roald Dahl Rose (Rosa ‘Roald Dahl’) is a stunning David Austin English Rose, admired for its perfectly cupped, apricot-peach blooms with a deliciously fruity fragrance. This repeat-flowering variety produces masses of soft, fully double flowers from spring through autumn, making it a standout in garden beds, borders, and pots. Inspired by the beloved author Roald Dahl, this rose has a strong, bushy growth habit and excellent disease resistance, thriving in Melbourne’s climate with full sun and well-drained soil. Regular feeding, watering, and deadheading will encourage continuous flowering, while its compact shape makes it ideal for smaller gardens and informal hedging.
