Rosa Lady Emma Hamilton (English Rose)
Rose Lady Emma Hamilton, Rosa 'Ausbrother', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
Adding verve to the garden with its striking and unusual coloring, English Rose Lady Emma Hamilton (Ausbrother) features breathtakingly cupped, double blossoms (45 petals) that open from dark red buds with dashes of orange and mature to a wonderful mix of tangerine, orange and yellow. They offer a stunning contrast against the foliage that opens deep red, lightens to bronze, and slowly becomes dark blue-green with age. Introduced by David Austin in 2005
- Blooming in flushes from late spring to fall, this award-winner exudes a strong, intense fruity fragrance with hints of pear, grape, and citrus fruits. Memorable!
- Grows up to 4 feet tall (120 cm) and 3 feet across (90 cm).
- Featuring a bushy, upright habit, this ravishing and vigorous shrub is an excellent repeat bloomer whose striking beauty allows it to be treated as a specimen plant in the landscape. It is also a superb addition to the border and its medium size allows it to fit small gardens or containers. Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
- Summer pruning will help to maintain the height and encourage quicker repeat flowering.
- Lady Emma Hamilton was Horatio Nelson’s lover. He led the British in the battle of Trafalgar just over 200 years ago in 1805.
- 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 a 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.
