David Austin Claire Austin® (Ausprior) English Climbing Rose (6 litre pot)

An elegant and fragrant climbing rose, Claire Austin® is a favorite among rose lovers for its creamy white flowers and strong myrrh scent. It is a vigorous grower, reaching heights of up to 8 feet, and is repeat-flowering, so you will enjoy blooms from late spring through to early winter.

Named after David Austin’s daughter, the blooms are large and cupped, and they have a strong, sweet fragrance that is reminiscent of myrrh, meadowsweet, vanilla, and heliotrope. It is perfect for growing up large walls or fences, over doorways and through garden arches, obelisks or pillars.

Claire Austin is a relatively easy rose to care for. It prefers full sun, but it can also tolerate partial shade. It is also drought-tolerant and disease-resistant. An application of Mycorrhizal Fungi when planting will help to establish roots and encourage good plant health.

If you are looking for a beautiful and fragrant climbing rose that is easy to care for, then Claire Austin is the perfect choice for you.
