Customer Reviews
Hard to choose my favourite DA rose but WSOP is certainly in my top 3 😁
I have at least 15 planted in front borders. They usually keep flowering until late October which for a north facing aspect on West of Scotland is amazing. The rose is beautiful in summer but even more magical to still have blooms so late in year too. Wonderful fragrance.
Whiter Shade of Pale is a beautiful rose which is pale pink/blush and smells gorgeous. Had it for 2 years very healthy, dark green leaves and good repeat flowering. If I had a bigger garden I’d plant more. One of the National Trust gardens has a stunning rose bed of this variety.
I am glad I noted your suggestion and bought this rose: Whiter Shade of Pale. It has only been planted for a few months yet it is flourishing and the rose is beautiful with a lovely perfume. Your pot grown roses are such a high standard and always do well.
Good, strong healthy rose bush
I love this rose, so delicate. Since discovering David Austin I haven't bought a rose from anyone else.
