David Austin The Generous Gardener® (Ausdrawn) English Climbing Rose (6 litre pot)

The Generous Gardener is a beautiful English Climbing Rose from David Austin® Roses. It is a medium-climber that can grow up to around 15 feet tall, with pale pink blooms that have a strong, old rose, musk, and myrrh fragrance. The flowers are medium-sized and nod gracefully on the stem. When the petals open, they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect.

The Generous Gardener is a repeat flowering rose, meaning that it will bloom throughout the season. It is also a hardy rose, that can tolerate a wide range of climates. It is a good choice for shady areas, as it will still bloom well in partial shade. To help establish roots and encourage good plant health, plant with an application of Mycorrhizal Fungi.

The Generous Gardener is a popular choice for arbors, trellises, fences, and pergolas. It can also be used to create a vibrant landscape backdrop for border perennials and annuals.
