Rosa 'Skylark' (English Rose)
Rose 'Skylark', Rosa 'Ausimple', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses
Rosa 'Skylark' is a lovely variety of shrub rose which produces clusters of semi-double, deep pink, cup-shaped flowers, delicately paling to lilac-pink over time. When fully opened, they reveal a white heart and conspicuous golden stamens. They are nicely complimented by the dark, semi-glossy foliage. Bushy, this rounded, small shrub is a repeat bloomer which emits a light tea fragrance.
- Its noteworthy qualities have earned it the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
- Blooms in flushes from late spring until frost.
- Growing up to 36 in. tall (90 cm) and spreading 30 in. wide (75 cm), it looks wonderful when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta or lavender.
- Best grown in full sun in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in fall or by budding in the summer
- Bred by David Austin in 2007
