Rose - Wollerton Old Hall

Common Name:
Rose 'Wollerton Old Hall'

Description:
Rose 'Wollerton Old Hall' is one of the most fragrant English climbing roses bred by David Austin, admired for its strong, complex perfume and elegant blooms. The flowers are large, cupped rosettes that open in a soft creamy white with warm apricot tones at the centre, eventually fading to nearly pure white. Its fragrance is rich and distinctive, combining myrrh with hints of citrus and old rose, making it one of the most beautifully scented varieties available. This rose flowers prolifically from late spring through summer and into autumn, producing repeat flushes on vigorous, arching stems. With its strong growth and healthy dark green foliage, it is particularly well suited as a climber for walls, arches, pergolas, or trellises. In Melbourne gardens, it thrives in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil, offering both beauty and perfume season after season.
