Common Name:
Rose 'The Mayflower'
Description:
Rose 'The Mayflower' is one of the earliest and most charming English shrub roses bred by David Austin, offering a profusion of soft pink blooms with a strong old rose fragrance. Its flowers are medium-sized, fully double, and form perfect rosettes that bloom continuously from spring through to autumn. What sets this rose apart is its exceptional disease resistance—it was one of the first David Austin roses marketed as being virtually immune to common rose problems such as black spot and mildew. 'The Mayflower' grows into a compact, bushy shrub with a natural, informal shape, making it ideal for cottage gardens, borders, or large containers. The foliage is small and mid-green, complementing the delicate pink tones of the blooms. In Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun and benefits from regular feeding and pruning to maintain its generous flowering habit. With its repeat blooming, hardy nature, and beautiful fragrance, 'The Mayflower' is a true all-rounder in any garden setting.
