        The Gabriel Oak® is also available as an English Standard Tree Rose

        During the summer months, we always aim to send your roses with a lovely mix of buds and blooms wherever possible. Please bear in mind that the stage and size of these will vary from variety to variety, and some plants may have been recently pruned or deadheaded to keep them looking their best. If your rose arrives without buds or blooms, there's no need to worry - we're right in the heart of the growing season, and there's plenty of time ahead for new blooms to appear.

        Description
        A magnificent variety, bearing large, many petalled rosette blooms. They are a striking shade of deep pink, the outer petals of each bloom paling slightly over time. The beauty of the blooms is enhanced by a wonderful, strong fruity fragrance. A vigorous rose; it forms a very shapely, broad, rounded shrub with mulberry purple stems and dark green foliage, giving the overall impression of richness and abundance. Named after the beloved character in Thomas Hardy’s novel, Far from the Madding Crowd. David Austin, 2019.
