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.
