David Austin Queen Of Sweden® (Austiger) English Shrub Rose (6 litre pot)

Queen Of Sweden® (Austiger) is an elegant upright growing rose with cup-shaped soft pink flowers that carry a lovely myrrh fragrance. The colour opens as soft apricot pink and gradually matures into a pure soft pink.

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 4 weeks.

Plant into a mixed border, rose hedge or rose border in a position of full sunlight or partial shade. We recommend an application of Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish roots and encourage good plant health. The flowers can also be used for cutting.

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