David Austin Port Sunlight® (Auslofty) English Shrub Rose (6 litre pot)

Port Sunlight® (Auslofty) is a vigorous upright rose shrub which produces medium-large, flat, quartered rosettes in a rich apricot colour, paling towards the edges. These beautiful blooms emit a fragrance of medium tea that makes this rose a delight for cutting, while the vigorous upright growth makes it ideal for mixed borders and rose hedges.

Plant in a position of full sun or partial shade into any healthy soil. Use Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish roots and encourage good plant health.

This English shrub rose bred by David Austin is named after the well known model village in the Wirral where there is a beautiful garden of English Roses.
