Rose Benjamin Britten, Rosa 'Ausencart', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
Noteworthy for its powerful contrast in the garden, this fabulously colored English rose, introduced by David Austin in 2001, combines beauty, fragrance, a remarkably long-blooming season, and high resistance to diseases.
Adding excitement to the garden with its striking and unusual coloring, English Rose ‘Benjamin Britten’ (Ausencart) features deeply-cupped, double blossoms that open as a deep salmon pink and change to slightly cupped rosettes of a pure saturated pink-red. Borne on gracefully arching stems, and clothed in shiny, deep green leaves, it has a strong, fruity fragrance that makes it a superb cut flower.
