Rosa The Generous Gardener (English Rose)

Repeat-flowering and one of the most fragrant of all English Roses, The Generous Gardener is a fabulous Rose that features breathtakingly large, double flowers reminiscent of water lilies. Pale pink, they are deliciously fragrant, a mix of old rose, musk, and myrrh, and are elegantly held on strong, arching thornless stems against the lovely green glossy foliage. Tall, bushy, and well-branched, you may want to train this beauty as a climbing rose to let its scent hang beautifully in the air!

• Blooming in flushes from late spring until frost, this Rose is a good repeat bloomer.
• Grows up to 5 feet tall (150 cm) and spreads 4 feet wide (120 cm). An excellent choice for beds and borders. Spectacular when combined with the cool blue colors of salvia, nepeta, or lavender. Plant it where you can enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers. Ideal as a free-blooming climber for walls, arbors, fences, or other garden structures where it may reach up to 10 ft. (3 m).
• Highly popular, this lovely Rose won many prestigious awards, including the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
• Best grown in full sun or partial shade in rich, fertile, with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
• Excellent disease resistance.
• Introduced in 2002 by David Austin, this lovely rose has been named to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National Gardens Scheme.
• 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.
