Rose St Swithun, Rosa 'Auswith', Shrub Roses, English Roses, David Austin Roses,
How to resist the charm and fragrance of this lovely Rose? Rosa St Swithun produces very large, fully double flowers with over 120 frilly petals neatly arranged around a central button eye. Soft pink at its heart, the blossoms gradually fade to the palest pink at the edges and exude a strong fragrance reminiscent of pure myrrh. Quick repeat-flowering, vigorous, tough, and reliable, ‘St Swithun’ features a bushy growth that makes it perfect as a tall shrub or a short climber. This is one of the best climbers!
David Austin’s English Roses combine Old Roses’ flower forms and perfume with the color range and repeat-flowering habits of modern roses. As a Rose breeder, David Austin’s achievement is 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 receiving the highest rewards.
