David Austin Queen Of Sweden® (Austiger) English Shrub Rose (6-Litre Pot)

David Austin Queen Of Sweden® (Austiger) is an elegant upright rose with cup-shaped, perfectly formed soft pink flowers, that carry a lovely Myrrh fragrance. The buds on this exquisite bloom open in soft apricot pink hues and gradually mature to a soft pink, to create a wonderful mix of colours to admire.

As a repeat flowering rose, Queen of Sweden will bloom in flushes from late spring through to early winter, with each flush lasting for up to four weeks for a long-lasting floral display.

Plant David Austin Queen of Sweden in a mixed border alongside other flowers, or create a striking display with a mix of other roses. It is also a wonderful choice for creating a scented rose hedge to add structure and zoning to garden designs. With its wonderful blooms and delightful fragrance, this rose is also a great choice as a cut flower to enjoy around the home.

To get the best floral display, plant your rose in a position of full sunlight or partial shade. We recommend adding a sprinkling of Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish strong roots and encourage good plant health.

This English shrub rose, bred by David Austin®, commemorates the Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between Sweden and Great Britain.
