David Austin Scepter’d Isle® (Ausland) English Shrub Rose (6 litre pot)

Scepter’d Isle® (Ausland) is an upright rose shrub that bears pretty light pink rose cupped flowers with delicate yellow stamens.

These beautiful blooms become paler towards the edge and have a strong, powerful myrrh fragrance. The flowers will appear gracefully above the upright shrub growth.

A medium-size shrub rose, Scepter’d Isle is perfect for growing into a mixed border or rose border will also excel when used to attract bees and other large pollinators into the garden. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils and will thrive in either full sunlight or partial shade. For the best chance of success we recommend an application of Mycorrhizal Fungi to help establish roots and encourage good plant health.

The name of this English shrub rose bred by David Austin is taken from John of Gaunt’s speech, expressing his love for England, in Shakespeare’s Richard II.
