Features

notes

Rosa Princess Alexandra of Kent (Ausmerchant), from David Austin, is a gorgeous English Shrub Rose with unusually large, bright pink flowers which are full-petalled and deeply cupped. The ring of soft pink outer petals, enclosing the warm pink inner, creates a delightful effect.

Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.

Insights

Blooming almost continuously throughout the summer months, this Old Rose Hybrid is reliable and has excellent disease resistance. Named after Princess Alexandra of Kent, a cousin to Queen Elizabeth II and a keen gardener.

Care

Scent

Pleasantly and strongly fragrant, with a fresh tea aroma which changes to lemon as the flower ages, eventually taking on additional hints of blackcurrant.
