Rosa Sir John Betjeman®
£33.00
notes
Forming a neatly rounded shrub covered in deep crimson flowers, David Austin’s Sir John Betjeman (Ausvivid) makes a bold statement in any border or formal rose bed, especially when placed in contrast with paler flower colours. Unusually for English roses, the deep colour actually intensifies as the flowers mature. Image courtesy of David Austin Roses.
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.
