Rose Bishop's Castle, Rosa 'Ausbecks', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
Very robust and healthy, David Austin English Rose Bishop’s Castle (Ausbecks) is a repeat-flowering rose featuring profuse blooms of rich raspberry pink that pale as the flowers mature. The flowers are shallowly cupped and fully double (80 petals) with a central button eye. They offer a nice contrast with the glossy, leathery, deep green foliage and exude a very good ‘Old Rose’ fragrance. Abundantly produced over a long blooming season, ‘Bishop’s Castle’ forms a versatile and very attractive rounded shrub (introduced by David Austin in 2007).
David Austin’s English Roses combine the flower forms and perfume of Old Roses with the color range and repeat-flowering habits of modern roses. As Rose breeder, David Austin’s achievement is in marrying the romantic “English Rose” look with reliable garden performance, vigorous growth, full bushes, disease-resistance and prolific season-long bloom. Over 200 English Roses have been released since 1961, many of them receiving the highest rewards.
