Rosa Tess of The d'Urbervilles (English Rose)

Rose Tess of The d'Urbervilles, Rosa 'Ausmove', Shrub Roses, David Austin Roses


An excellent choice where space is limited! This short and compact climber produces large, bright crimson, deeply cupped flowers beautifully contrasting with the foliage of large, dark green leaves. Bred by David Austin, this English Rose also emits a strong Old Rose fragrance and makes a very pretty sight both as a shrub and as a short climber.

  • Blooming in flushes from late spring until frost, this is an excellent repeat bloomer.
  • Robust, it grows in a bushy, arching shrub, 4 ft tall and across (120 cm) and up to 6-8 ft if trained as a climbing rose. An excellent choice for beds and borders. 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.
  • Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates some shade
  • Excellent resistance to disease. Reliable and easy to grow.
  • This lovely rose was named after the heroine of Thomas Hardy’s novel.

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 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.
