An elegant rose with open sprays of cupped, mid pink blooms, the David Austin ‘Penelope Lively’ shrub rose will fill your garden with its beautiful blooms and classic Old Rose, Fruity fragrance.
With an abundance of exquisite flowers that burst from bright red buds, they transform into a magnificent pink frilled blooms. As the flowers mature, the petals fade to attractive lavender hues, to create a display of varying colours throughout its flowering season.
A wonderful choice for creating mixed borders that fuse the classic with the contemporary, it looks magnificent paired with Salvias, Geraniums and Echinacea. Alternatively, it makes a worthy addition to any rose garden, with its healthy and robust growth, and is an excellent cut flower to enjoy around the home.
Bred by David Austin and introduced in 2023, it is named for the prize-winning author, Penelope Lively. She had two passions in life, writing and gardening, these were combined in her beautifully crafted memoir "Life in the garden".
