Rose - Tamora

Common Name:
Tamora Rose

Description:
The 'Tamora' rose is a compact and exquisitely fragrant English shrub rose bred by David Austin, known for its refined beauty and delightful scent. The blooms are a warm apricot-peach, with a soft, glowing centre that fades slightly towards the edges. Flowers open from rounded buds into full, shallow-cupped rosettes, exuding a rich, complex fragrance with strong myrrh notes. 'Tamora' is a reliable repeat bloomer throughout spring, summer, and autumn, with neat, rounded growth and attractive bronze-tinged young foliage that matures to deep green. In Melbourne, this rose performs best in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. It’s particularly well-suited to smaller gardens, cottage-style plantings, or decorative containers. Its compact size, strong perfume, and soft colouring make it a charming addition to any landscape where fragrance and form are valued.
