The unusually large, bright pink flowers are full-petalled and deeply cupped. In spite of their size, they are never clumsy, being held nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub. There is a strong and delicious fresh Tea fragrance, which changes to lemon, eventually taking on hints of blackcurrants. Named for Princess Alexandra – a keen gardener. David Austin, 2007.

Customer Reviews
Mum is thrilled with her rose bush
I was particularly pleased with the colour - a clear warm coral pink unlike other pink roses
The Princess Alexandra of Kent rose is an absolute delight in the garden. Its large, cup-shaped blooms in a rich, warm pink color exude a captivating, strong tea fragrance with hints of lemon and blackcurrant. The plant is vigorous and healthy, with lush, green foliage that beautifully complements the stunning flowers. It blooms generously throughout the season, making it a standout in any rose bed or container. A true gem for rose lovers!
Can’t wait for spring to come and this beautiful rose to start flowering, heavenly fragrance and beautiful colour.
