David Austin Rose Princess Alexandra of Kent - 20cm Pot

‘Princess Alexandra of Kent’ (Ausmerchant)(PBR) is a beautiful David Austin English Shrub Rose producing unusually large, bright pink blooms that are deeply cupped and packed with petals.

Despite the generous flower size, the blooms are held gracefully above a well-rounded shrub, giving the plant a balanced and elegant appearance throughout the flowering season. It is a repeat-flowering variety, providing successive flushes of colour from spring through the warmer months.
Fragrance is one of its strongest features, beginning with a fresh Tea scent, then developing lemon notes and eventually hints of blackcurrant as the flowers mature.
Named for Princess Alexandra, a keen gardener, this rose was introduced by David Austin in 2007.

Mature size: approximately 1–1.5 metres high × 1–1.5 metres wide

Fragrance: Strong Tea fragrance with lemon and blackcurrant notes

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply while establishing and during extended dry periods. Feed established roses in late August and again after the main flowering flushes. Mulch in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering. As an English shrub rose, prune more lightly than a Hybrid Tea or Floribunda, focusing on removing dead, damaged or weak growth and maintaining its naturally rounded shape. Prune in July, or August in colder and frost-prone areas.

Ideal for
- Fragrant gardens
