Rosa Crown Princess Margareta (English Rose)

Bred by David Austin, English Rose Crown Princess Margareta produces large clusters of strongly fruity-scented, many-petaled flowers, whose color invariably draws attention. It displays an exquisite apricot-orange color, slowly fading to yellow as the rosettes mature.

• This is an excellent repeat bloomer who is blooming in flushes from late spring until frost.
• Grows up to 5 feet tall (150 cm) and spreads 4.5 feet wide (135 cm). This tall, slightly arching shrub is ideal as a short climber or for the back of the border, where in both cases, it makes a striking statement. Spectacular when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta, or lavender. Plant it where you can enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers.
• Best grown in full sun or partial shade in rich, fertile, with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
• Excellent disease resistance.
• This lovely rose was named after the Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden, Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, and an accomplished landscape gardener.
• 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.
