Rosa Scepter'd Isle (English Rose)

Rose Scepter'd Isle, Rosa 'Ausland', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses


Bred by David Austin, Rosa Scepter'd Isle is particularly beautiful, with its small clusters of soft pink chalice-shaped blooms that open to reveal golden stamens. Elegantly held above a dark green, semi-glossy foliage, its medium-sized blooms (3.5 in; 9 cm) are delicately framed with paler outer petals. Its powerful and outstanding myrrh fragrance has earned it the Royal National Rose Society Award.

  • Featuring a bushy, upright habit, this ravishing 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 beds or borders and makes a lovely hedge. Spectacular when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta, or lavender. 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.
  • Blooming from late spring until frost, it flowers freely and continuously, providing a charming display.
  • Grows up to 4 feet tall (120 cm) and spreads 3 feet (90 cm)
  • Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
  • Excellent disease resistance.
  • Summer pruning will help to maintain the height and encourage quicker repeat flowering.
  • Rose 'Scepter'd Isle' was named after William Shakespeare's romantic, idyllic description of England in Richard II: This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle... This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea...
  • 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.
