      Description
      Bears dainty clusters of attractive, small to medium-sized, mid pink flowers. If they are not dead-headed they will be followed by a wonderful crop of bright red hips, which last long into the winter. It forms a nice, sturdy shrub with tidy, spreading growth and ample foliage. It is hardy, very healthy and extremely reliable, making it one of the most widely planted of all roses. Meilland, 1981.

      Frequently asked questions

      Need more help? for individual help or advice, we encourage you to contact our friendly, knowledgeable team on 01902 376300.

      Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

      Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

      Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.

      We take every care to breed, grow and deliver the best roses. If a rose fails to grow or arrives damaged, we will replace it free of charge. That’s the David Austin promise. If you would like to request a replacement or refund of a rose within the 5 year guarantee period, please complete our Returns form.
