The David Austin Rambling Rector® Rambling Rose is a beautiful, fragrant rose that is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your garden. It produces clusters of small, semi-double, creamy white flowers that have a powerful Musk scent. Its abundant flowers grow on strong, dense, twiggy stems that can reach up to 7.5 meters.

Introduced in 1899, Rambling Rector is a beautiful, fragrant, and easy to care for rose. It will add a touch of elegance to your garden and its robust, reliable growth makes it a joy to grow.

How to care for your rose
To get the best from your rambling rose, plant it with a sprinkling of David Austin Mycorrhizal Fungi to help the roots establish and encourage good plant health. We also recommend regular feeding with rose food, once in late March or early April and again in July.
