Rose Constance Spry, Rosa 'Austance', Rosa 'Ausfirst', Shrub Roses, Climbing Roses, David Austin Roses
Winter hardy, award-winning Rosa Constance Spry is the first of David Austin’s English roses. This remarkable rose produces sumptuous, huge, 4 in. wide (10 cm), deeply cupped, rounded double flowers full of soft pink petals (26-40 petals). Rich with a strong, sweet myrrh fragrance, ‘Constance Spry’ is a vigorous, strong-growing, medium to large spreading shrub with generous foliage. It may be grown as a medium-sized climber as its flexible canes are easy to train – and the more they are twisted horizontally around support, the more profuse the flowering will be the following year since this superb rose flowers on old wood.
David Austin’s English Roses combine Old Roses’ flower forms and perfume with the color range and repeat-flowering habits of modern roses. As a Rose breeder, David Austin’s achievement is 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 receiving the highest rewards.
