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 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.
