Rosa Lichfield Angel (English Rose)

Vigorous, David Austin English Rose Lichfield Angel is a repeat-flowering rose featuring profuse, fully double flowers starting as deep cups of creamy apricot, which gradually open to neatly cupped rosettes (100 petals) before forming more domed flowers of creamy white in the bright sunshine. In addition to its beautiful clusters of elegantly nodding blooms, Lichfield Angel has a light clove fragrance and forms a lovely rounded shrub. It handles the diverse growing conditions of North America, including the challenging hot, humid climate of the Southeast!

• Blooming in flushes from late spring to fall, this rose is an excellent repeat bloomer
• Won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
• Grows up to 4 feet tall (120 cm) and 3 feet across (90 cm).
• Featuring a lovely rounded and bushy habit, this ravishing rose bush is a superb addition to beds and borders, planted with roses or other shrubs and perennials. Its soft coloring will very easily blend with a wide range of color schemes.
• 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, well-drained soils with adequate moisture.
• This rose was named after a limestone sculptured panel from the 8th century, which was recently discovered in Lichfield Cathedral. It depicts the Archangel Gabriel and still bears the remnants of Saxon paint.
• 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.
