Rosa Queen of Sweden (English Rose)
Rose Queen of Sweden, Rosa 'Austiger', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
A very prolific and charming bloomer, David Austin English Rose Queen of Sweden features exceptionally pretty clusters of 3 in. (7 cm), fully double blossoms of the softest glowing apricot-pink, later maturing to pure soft pink. The blooms start as little buds, gradually developing into wide, shallow cups (41 petals) and carrying a delicate myrrh fragrance. This medium size rose shrub has a particularly upright habit and bushy growth with a handsome Musk Rose foliage that is exceptionally healthy.
- Blooming in flushes from late spring until frost, this Rose is an excellent Repeat bloomer.
- Vigorously growing up to 4 feet tall (120 cm) and 2-3 feet wide (60-90 cm), it makes a good flowering hedge and is an excellent choice for beds and borders. Spectacular when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta, or lavender. Excellent cut flowers, the flowers lasting several days in water.
- Best grown in full sun or partial shade in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- 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.
