Customer Reviews
Absolutely stunning rose.. packed really well . The perfume is stunning.
I really wasn’t sure at first when I ordered the Kings Rose - but thought David Austin knows what they are doing. They truly do - it looks spectacular in my mixed border, and smells wonderful. I am so glad I ordered it so quickly, but am sad I am going to have to wait to order more!
I ordered the King’s Rose as soon as I received the early sign-up email from DA. I only buy pollinator friendly roses and plants now. This rose is currently in my blue and pink border. It is stunning. The scent is light but the flowers themselves are truly magical. I now have 5 DA roses… Eustacia Vye, Scarborough Fair, Tottering-by-Gently, Kew Gardens and of course the King’ Rose. So pleased I got this new rose as it has sold out so quickly!
Really pleased with the Kings Rose
