Standard Rose David Austin Lady Of Shallot - 25cm Pot

Bush Rose Lady Of Shallot.

(Ausnyson) English Shrub Rose

Rich orange-red buds open to chalice-shaped blooms, filled with loosely arranged, orange petals. The surrounding outer petals are salmon-pink with beautifully contrasting golden-yellow undersides. There is a pleasant, warm Tea fragrance, with hints of spiced apple and cloves. It quickly forms a bushy shrub with slightly arching stems and mid-green leaves, which have attractive, slightly bronzed tones when young. The name is taken from one of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poems to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth.

David Austin English roses combine the charming forms and fragrances of old roses with the repeat-flowering nature of modern roses.
