Rose Princess Alexandra of Kent, Rosa 'Ausmerchant', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
Repeat-flowering, Rosa Princess Alexandra of Kent is an irresistible English Old Rose Hybrid with unusually large, fully petalled (about 130 petals) and deeply cupped flowers of warm, glowing pink. The ring of soft pink outer petals, enclosing the warm pink inner petals, creates a most pleasing effect. Despite their size, they are held nicely on a healthy, well-rounded shrub. Delightfully and strongly fragrant, with a fresh Tea fragrance that changes to lemon as the flower ages – eventually taking on additional hints of blackcurrants. Bred by David Austin, this charming beauty was introduced in 2007.
