David Austin Bathsheba® (Auschimbley) English Climbing Rose (6 litre pot)

Bathsheba® by David Austin is a stunning English Climbing Rose that debuted in 2016. This rose variety showcases captivating apricot-yellow buds, which unfurl into delicately cupped rosettes with numerous petals. The flowers exhibit a graceful combination of subtle apricot-pink and gentle yellow hues, creating an overall impression of apricot tones, complemented by creamy outer petals. Notably, Bathsheba® emits an exquisite floral myrrh fragrance, infused with hints of honey and Tea.

Bathsheba® embodies the name of the resilient protagonist from Thomas Hardy’s renowned novel, “Far From The Madding Crowd”. This rose truly captures the essence of her strength and independence. It serves as an ideal choice for gardens desiring an infusion of elegance and romance.

This rose variety is a repeat bloomer, gracing the landscape with its beauty from early summer until late autumn. It requires minimal upkeep and is hardy in the UK. For optimal growth, Bathsheba® prefers full sun exposure and well-drained soil along with an application of Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish roots and encourage good plant health.

This 6-liter pot offers an ideal size for planting the rose in either a container or directly in the ground.
